[wellylug] XFS and JFS

Hi there
I am thinking of moving a Raid 0 (2 x 500GB) from ext3 to XFS or JFS 
filesystem.
Reason is that I usually need to work with 40000 files per directory, 
which I understand to be a bit pushing it for ext3 and after 30 to 35000 
files it certainly starts to loose the plot.
Reliability is not an issue, since files are data which are processed 
then removed and can be recreated if anything goes wrong.
OS is on another ext3 disk, I am not mixing data and OS.

Any advice ?
Cheers
E
