Honored ContributorO.K. I've finally found a link that says JFS is not reliable on the data (link and note below).
So, can I speed up EXT3 fsck ? Below is the boot of what the scis and ata1 are doing for me - PIO0 scsi0 : pata_altera_cf ata1: PATA max PIO4 mmio cmd 0x6425040 ctl 0x6425078 irq 6 Command: ifconfig eth0 hw ether 00:22:15:CC:27:82 ata1.00: CFA: STI Flash 8.0.0, 01/17/07, max MWDMA2 ata1.00: 16190496 sectors, multi 0: LBA ata1.00: configured for PIO0 ata1.00: configured for PIO0 ata1: EH complete scsi 0:0:0:0: Direct-Access ATA STI Flash 8.0.0 01/1 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5 sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] 16190496 512-byte hardware sectors: (8.28 GB/7.71 GiB) sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Write Protect is off sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Write cache: enabled, read cache: enabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA sda: sda1 sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Attached SCSI removable disk Or due to the fact that the Compact Flash is in configured for PIO0 ***************************************************************************************** http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-general-1/jfs-vs-xfs-vs-ext3-power-failure-492619/ note: JFS uses a journal to maintain consistency of metadata only. Thus, only consistency of metadata (and not actual file contents) can be assured in the case of improper shutdown. This is also the case for xfs and ReiserFS. Ext3, on the other hand, does support journaling of both metadata and data [5], though with a significant performance penalty, and not by default. ********************************************************************************************** Thanks for ANY inputs !
