Question is.... do I trust the Reiser partition to continue working now?
Is reiser still maintained? In the aftermath of the Reiser trial, I switched my non-ext partitions to JFS. The truth is, as a desktop I've noticed no difference. Unless you have a compelling reason to stick with reiser (email server, or other lots of small files with frequent turnover) then you can switch.
Speaking as a Cyrus IMAP admin - the small-file argument is pretty much bogus at this point. With dir index enabled current ext3 is pretty good; that plus directory hashing [a server feature] you have to have a very large load to record a significant different between filesystems.
Thanks. I've heard that today the ext filesystems are fine for email servers, but never from anyone that I'd call reliably experienced enough to know :). According to wikipedia Reiser is still maintained, so the OP can continue using it if he wishes. I personally would keep the filesystem as it is if this is an isolated incident. But if it happens again, JFS or ext3. -- Dotan Cohen http://bido.com http://what-is-what.com Please CC me if you want to be sure that I read your message.
