HANA Recommended Filesystem

Hello,

I would appreciate, if you can answer to the following queries.

1- To install Hana on SUSE Linux, which filesystem is recommended. Is it Ext3 or Ext4?

2- After creating a filesystem Ext3 or Ext4, is it recommended to create an LVM, to group the filesystems into one LVM?

The reason why I want to create an LVM is because

LVM is commonly used for the following purposes, as seen below.

1. Managing large hard disk farms by allowing disks to be added and replaced without downtime or service disruption, in combination with hot swapping.
2. On small systems (like a desktop at home), instead of having to estimate at installation time how big a partition might need to be in the future, LVM allows file systems to be easily resized later as needed.
3. Performing consistent backups by taking snapshots of the logical volumes.
4. Creating single logical volumes of multiple physical volumes or entire hard disks (somewhat similar to RAID 0, but more similar to JBOD), allowing for dynamic volume resizing.

Thanks & Regards,

Dasari
