I dont think ext3 will be the contender as the design of ext3 is only a
patched up ext2, with a lot of limitations to it...
I would be more concerned if Reiserfs should get its act together or IBM
invests more time into Enterprise storage manager ( on top of jfs)
For the enterprose world I see Vxfs as a threat ... in unison with
volume manager.If Veritas pulls that off in a reasonable time frame... a
lot of company's will opt for Vxfs and volume manager, because it can be
used on almost all of their platforms : wincrap2k, Solaris, Irix, Linux,
HPUX, AIX,... etc...
having a unified fs architecture across platforms is a bonus ...
knowledge of platform is not as important anymore regarding storage (
which is a large part of systems management)....
