Choosing filesystem for LVM

Hi all,

Recently I decided to move my small server to LVM. It is used by several people as FTP, Web and Git server. Previously some partitions were created, and I tried to control free space amount via disk quotas, but it looked quite ugly. Also snapshots would be very useful.

I googled for good filesystem type for LVM, but found almost nothing, only general recommendations that it must be resizeable. But what exact filesystems perform well? Basically, there's no need to achieve high read-write speeds, but FS must be relatively stable and nice on frequent resizes.

Re: Choosing filesystem for LVM

Would ext3 be good on resizes? Afaik there may be some issue with inode counts. Ext4 - yes, but target machine has epic old kernel (something like 2.6.26).
