Hi Curaga,
I'm interested in your 64-bit kernel. How did you do it?

@alu:
Sure, no problem. It wasn't that big a deal, all I did was build a TC-compatible (ie. loop-aes patched) 2.6.30.5 on a 64-bit box, then copied the resulting bzImage and modules.
No way of doing that on TC currently, it would require someone to build a full cross-compiling toolchain.

Do you need more details?

Update on things.
JFS, we had a great time, but in the end you just weren't the right one for me. You were slim, fast and light; but about every third crash was too much for you to handle. No data was ever lost, props for that, but having a crash make the fs un-fsckable is annoying enough. Result: Mount readonly, copy data off, reformat.
The not-so-bad crashes were fine with you - fsck just reran the journal, took about 3 secs.
But, I'm now back with my ex, ext3. Old, slow, but trusty. I've never had similar conditions cause an un-fsckable fs with ext3. Even though the formatting took 4x as long, it has near gb less space available for me, and general slowness and higher cpu usage, reliability wins for a laptop / dev machine.

What is about XFS?
