This should hopefully put to rest the vicious rumors about EXT4 being an unstable filesystem and causing random data loss. :bleh:

Google is currently in the middle of upgrading from ext2 to a more up
to date file system. We ended up choosing ext4. This thread touches
upon many of the issues we wrestled with, so I thought it would be
interesting to share. We should be sending out more details soon.

linux-ext4 - Re: [Jfs-discussion] benchmark results
 
geeks and nergs of the univers rejoice!

apparently people are looking forward to that "butter FS" (b-tree-fs aka btrfs) for it sophisticated industrial grade features :)
 
^^nope Reiser is more of a secure FS, for performance I always opted for XFS , still I have all my data dumped into XFS, will shift to ext4 once i have 1tb hdd at hand :)

Great move by google ;) Ted got hired again ;)
 
ReiserFS took quite a beating after Mr. Reiser was indicted for murdering his wife. No distro wanted to touch it with a 10 foot pole. Technologically though, ReiserFS is a really fast filesystem :)
