see here:

    http://lwn.net/daily/jfs-comparison.php3

summary (in speed order):

    ext2 < jfs < xfs < ext3 < reiserfs

it really looks like ext3 will win out in the end however for home
user boxes. for newer servers, jfs looks best. on further thought
though it would seem like the following fs layout would be best:

/ ext2
/usr ext2 (optionally in ro mode)
/tmp tmpfs
/var ext3/jfs
/home ext3/jfs

app specific dirs (/var/lib/mysql, /var/www, etc) should be ext3/jfs
filesystems. in the short term ext3 looks favorable even for new systems
since pretty much every emergency boot disk can get at ext3 partitions
(in ext2 mode).

ok, thoughts, flames, etc...
