[BackupPC-users] FS and backuppc performance

Hi all!

I'm running backuppc in several installations and sites and i'm very pleased with it, one of the sites has more than 3TB compressed data and about 6.000.000 files. Backupps run very well fast and reliable. My question is about FS performance.
From what I've seen on the list there are some people using XFS, Ext3, and so on. What's your experience with the different file systems?
For now I'm using ext3 and I don't have much of problems with one exception, some time ago backuppc server was rebooted for kernel and system security update (after being up for 8 months). And on boot a filecheck run on the backuppc data partition and it took almost 2 days to run, lots of inconsistency found and lots of corrections needed. Ext3 was running with noatime, nodiratime,and data mode is journaled. after that i tested some recoveries that went perfect and since then i don't have a prob, but to be sincere I didn't like to see the filecheck run like that and data getting corrupted like that too.

BTW I'm using 8 sata drives in a hardware raid 5 (raid utilities say raid status is fine as well as the hard drives).
I'm a SuSE fan and for years I used reiserfs that i loved and never game me problems the problem is that reiserfs is not maintained as it used to be...

What FS do you guys use recommend/used and why?

Cheers
Pedro
