One of the reasons I moved to Red Hat 8 was to use ext3 because it was
journaled, it was my belief this would substantially reduce my chances
of corruption, my Caldera 3.1.1 is ext2 but it sure saved my butt.

What your saying is that move to ext3 is still leaving me open to
corruption for no reason. That being the case it should be a no brainer
to go to XFS.

But is XFS ready for prime time?? or should I wait to make any big
changes till kernel 2.6.

I am not that adept at the mechanics of Linux yet, but love using it and
wouldn't switch for anything. So am I better off waiting till say Red
Hat 8.1 or whatever that will make these changes for me.

Sorry about being long winded, I just don't want to get myself in a
position where I destroy my system will ill timed changes I may not have
the technical abilities to perform.

Thanks
