What's the difference between reiserfs and ext3?
Both are jounalling (or is it journaled?) file systems. ext3 is an extension of the good old ext2, you can switch between journaled and non-journaled without trouble and you do not need to reformat your partitions to use it. ReiserFS and a completely new approach, using different algorithms to store the data (binary trees) and has some more features (like resizing without reformatting and the capability of plugins to extend the functionality). I guess as soon as they both are ready for productive use, it will be yet another religious issue like your favourite editor or window manager... Let's see how SGI's XFS and IBMs JFS come along.
