when I installed Debian Woody I set up my root partition as ext3. I've been running with it for several months now and it seems to work well.
1) does anyone else use ext3 and, if so, what do you think of it?
2) are there any caveats regarding the use of ext3? (apart from making sure that ext3 support is in the kernel)
3) I'm thinking of converting my existing ext2 partitions to ext3, are there any circumstances where is isn't worth doing this?
4) what about other journalling fs's (ReiserFS or XFS for example), are they any better? and how hard is it to convert from ext2 to one of them?
