SuSE has had a Journaling FS available since version 6.3 Have a look at Reiser FS in 7.0 Professional.

Not to bash Reiser but SGI's XFS is right around the corner and better.

This is exactly the problem with JFS, everyone has an idea and opinion, just like religion and politics! Reiser works, has been up for three versions, is deployed on large sites, and will continue to be shipped. JM2C On Wed, 18 Oct 2000, Ben Rosenberg wrote:

Yes, about as around the corner as kernel 2.4..which XFS needs in order to even work...not trying to be cranky..it's just an FYI.

Could you please elaborate on that? "It's better" is a bit to vague :)

LenZ

Yea that was vague. XFS shipped with IRIX is the only one that I'm really familiar with. And it by far beats ANYBODY elses JFS. I realize that the Linux version may not have all the bells and whistles YET but it's the one to watch. At least it's the one I'll be watching. I'm sure you know how to get to the white papers on it. http://www.sgi.com/cgi-bin/surfsrch.cgi?cmd=search&coll=0650&srch=xfs&db=All -- Mark Hounschell dmarkh@cfl.rr.com -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq
