Request comparison of relative strenths of the various journaling file systems

[Brett I. Holcomb]

Check back through the past posts. There was one recently with a link to a 
comparision between XFS and at least one of the others.   And then there 
are all of us here who have our favorites <G>.  Seriously, some people here 
have tested some of the different file systems under stressfull conditions.

For me - I use XFS.
