My LVS servers are currently EXT2 but I'm either going to go with a
diskless server using netboot or a CD based server. Our LVS is becoming
our firewall (using NAT) and I'd rather have it stay bullet proof. CD
based if it gets compromised I just reboot it.
Working machines have local disks for qmail queue and /etc /boot which are
EXT3. Working data (/home, /usr, /shared, /webspace) lives on a Network
Appliance Netfiler. I really can't say enough about the NetApps they are
simply awesome. You pay a chunk of money but it is money well spent.
