Hi, You forgot to mention, it doesn't support files >=2G, which ext2 does do :-) -tosi On Tue, Oct 31, 2000 at 04:10:33PM +0100, Lenz Grimmer wrote:

I'm about to set up a new Linux server at work using SuSE 7.0. I was thinking of using Reiser FS rather than ext2. However, I realize that this is a fairly new file system and was wondering whether it is OK for production use. Are there any limitations or problems with using this file system ? It would certainly be nice not to have to worry about power failures and potential loss of data.

The following limitations apply:

o no quota support (yet) o dump does not work (yet) o kernel based NFS is not very stable yet

Apart from that, it is pretty usable:

[grimmer@xxx grimmer]$ mount | grep reiserfs /dev/rd/c0d1p3 on / type reiserfs (rw) /dev/wrk/wrk on /work type reiserfs (rw) [grimmer@xxx grimmer]$ df -h / /work Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/rd/c0d1p3 8.0G 3.0G 5.0G 37% / /dev/wrk/wrk 240G 224G 16G 93% /work

[grimmer@yyy grimmer]$ mount | grep reiserfs /dev/home/home on /real-home type reiserfs (rw,noatime) [grimmer@yyy grimmer]$ df -h /real-home/ Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/home/home 103G 83G 20G 80% /real-home

[grimmer@zzz grimmer]$ mount | grep reiserfs /dev/sda3 on / type reiserfs (rw) /dev/sda4 on /schnell type reiserfs (rw) [grimmer@zzz grimmer]$ df -h / /schnell Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda3 2.0G 1.3G 687M 66% / /dev/sda4 341G 267G 74G 78% /schnell

[grimmer@vvv grimmer]$ mount | grep reiserfs /dev/sda3 on / type reiserfs (rw) /dev/dist/dist on /dist type reiserfs (rw,noatime) [grimmer@vvv grimmer]$ df -h / /dist Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda3 3.7G 1.2G 2.4G 33% / /dev/dist/dist 326G 160G 166G 49% /dist

As you can see, we use it quite intesively :)
