It was one of the design points of reiserfs, to easily recover from powerdown disasters. It is fine to recommend UPS for servers, but home users rarely posses an UPS.
Home users have lots of time on their hands, the long(ish) recovery times of <journaled filesystem of your choice> should not be a real concern ...

And the system in question here will be a server running 24/7 with pretty intense load, so fast recovery IS an issue.. I haven't been running ext3 for several years, so I don't know how it performs really.. I guess for speed and disk intense use, XFS or JFS looks like good alternatives. My own experiences with XFS is that while it's running, it's fast although a bit cpu demanding. Recovery is painfully slow after a serious disk trashing, even slower than a rebuild-tree with ReiserFS v3. Then I saw a note in OpenSUSE 11 that there are absolutely no support for JFS, but it seems like it's working anyway.. ;-) Anders. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
