Which filesystem type for MongoDB?

Is there a file-system recommendation for "high-performance"
MongoDB-based sites (heavy reads and write). On IRC someone made a statement

"""
best thing i can tell you is don't use ext3
"""

What else?

The usual candidates are XFS or JFS

Is it a significant performance increase? I was just going to use the
standard Linux file system.

"the standard Linux file system"? Different distros using different
filesystems.

We've seen the most success with ext4 and xfs.
ext3 does some very strange things with large files.
ext4 fully implements posix_fallocate, which means we can allocate
large files instantly.
i haven't tried xfs myself, but have heard good things.

I suggest you use xfs, we choose it in production.

XFS performance is better than ext3, event big file.

It recovery very quick, and extend/resize handy.

note:
you should add noatime mount options.

Joy, time to go learn about file systems. To be honest, the file
system is something I never think about beyond whether it's an NFS
mount. I don't think I've ever even heard any of the file system types
mentioned here.
