Hi, Its seems SuSE 10 will be released tomorrow, I hope with ReiserFS 4 support in both kernel and YaST. If someone have experience, knowledge or idea regarding these questions please share your wise experience, 1) Is it really ReiserFS 4 support will be included in YaST -> partition manager? 2) Is it possible to SAFELY convert existing ReiserFS partition to new ReiserFS 4 format? 3) Someone has real-world experience - is ReiserFS 4 really much faster compared to ReiserFS 3 and Ext 3? I know it is slower on databases but I do not care. 4) Is it possible to have read-only access to ReiserFS 4 volumes on Windows and Mac with any utility? 5) Is it possible to use SUPER kernel branch on plain SuSE 10 install? Thanks in advance for any suggestion(s). ************************************************ *** with best regards *** Andrei Verovski (aka MacGuru) *** Mac, Linux, DTP, Programming Web Site *** *** http://snow.prohosting.com/guru4mac/ ************************************************

No.
2) Is it possible to SAFELY convert existing ReiserFS partition to new ReiserFS 4 format?
No, it's not. ReiserFS 4 is far from stable in my mind. I've tested it intensively, and it's not performing well under heavy load.
3) Someone has real-world experience - is ReiserFS 4 really much faster compared to ReiserFS 3 and Ext 3? I know it is slower on databases but I do not care.
Don't know. Since it's not ready for production use on my systems, I haven't benchmarked it.
4) Is it possible to have read-only access to ReiserFS 4 volumes on Windows and Mac with any utility?
I've no idea.

Same as 4. -- Anders Norrbring Norrbring Consulting

Hi, Anders, Thanks a lot for so quick reply. What did you mean ¨performing well under heavy load¨ - its carshed, too slow, get corrupted?

On extremely heavy load with large amounts of accesses to small files I got both corruptions and server hangs. Mind that this is MY experiencies, others may have had a real good luck with it... :) -- Anders Norrbring Norrbring Consulting

Hi,

No, only in the kernel - and not tested and supported.
knowledge or idea regarding these questions please share your wise experience,
1) Is it really ReiserFS 4 support will be included in YaST -> partition manager?
No, not in YaST,

Nope - it'll not have the Reiser 4 support. See http://lists.opensuse.org/archive/opensuse/2005-Oct/0313.html for more details Regards, Dmitry

4) Is it possible to have read-only access to ReiserFS 4 volumes on Windows and Mac with any utility?
You might want to look at http://www.crossmeta.com They claim to have a free Windows driver for: ext2 (read/write) xfs (read/write) reiser (read only, no mention of 3 vs. 4, so I assume 3) I just read about these guys a few minutes ago, so I have not yet tried any of the stuff, but I find it very interesting. Especially the 2 read/write drivers. Greg
If its data interchange why allow windows any access to a linux partition. Use a Win32 partition which both can read and write. -- ___ _ _ _ ____ _ _ _ | | | | [__ | | | |___ |_|_| ___] | \/
