Dear all, Having read the discussion on reiserfs, I felt I had to contribute. I ran SuSE 7.1 and now I am using 7.3. On both systems I had reiserfs *without* the mentioned trouble! And I still haven't (keep my fingers crossed after reading all the trouble....) But... The boot partition is ext2!!! And that's on purpose, for a friend of mine indicated that having your boot partition on reiserfs is asking for trouble (which is his experience). I don't know the details and I am not sure he has any details. Maybe he just learned using trial & error..... all the best, Huge Op maandag 7 januari 2002 23:18, schreef Chris:
A comment on the reiserfs.
I had it installed on two 'older' eMachines. Both of them experienced failures of random startup scripts upon boot. Each time I would shut down and reboot, a different service would fail. I switched back to ext2 and have had zero problems since.
However, on a newer Thunderbird machine, the reiserfs works excellent and is much faster than the ext2.
No one has given me a clear answer as to why.

Hi all,
I have recently found the following lines in /var/log/messages on one of my servers running SuSE 7.0, kernel 2.2.16, openssh-2.1.1p1-19:

Anyway, I wonderd if anyone has seen something similar yet and if I have to worry.
I've seen the very same symptoms after system crashes in different log files. The filesystem is reiserfs. I don't know if this has something to do with it. Sometimes there have been kde config files affected the same way, which crashed afterwords KDE, when trying to read them. For me it's for pretty sure, that this is no hack.
Even worse - it sometimes affect binary files! And then afterwards when you try to execute it, you get "binary format error" or "not ELF-header found" :( Some people told me it's reiserfs, and some others - that it's kernel 2.4.x... Anyone has an idea what can be done against this?
