Hi,
I was reading the SLES8_EAL2_SecurityGuide.pdf http://www.suse.de/de/security/eal2/SLES8_EAL2_SecurityGuide.pdf
On page 8 it stated to have the "/" partion as ext3. If I remember correctly SuSE had ReiserFS since 6.4 and and it has been the default choice of filesystem for quite a time.
So want I want to understand is what makes "ext3" as a better choice for the meeting of criteria and what are the reasons reiserfs fails.
As far as I know ext3 is much more reliable in the aspect of File and data consistency. ReiserFS sometimes tends to losing data or attributes, which can be fatal in a server environment. Also the journaling of ext3 is AFAIK much better.
I do not want to start a flame war but I want to understand the facts in making such a decision.
Wouldnt count it as starting a flame war. Its good to know what you are doing, so ask if you are not sure about anything. There are no stupid questions, just stupid answers.
Thanks and greetings from Stuttgart --
