Hi Guys Quick question to any SuSE people on the list (and any other people with experience). What is the currently recomended filesystem to use with SuSE 7.3? I have been using ReiserFS since SuSE 6.4 with no complaints, and currently have over 50 servers deployed using it (mostly at 7.2 level). However it seems the upgrade from 7.3 to 7.3 (running ReiserFS) is less than ideal (it killed my notbook fair convincingly, to the point where it took me several hours with reiserfsck and various other tools to get it functional again.) As I have never been a fan of upgrades in any case (and this experience confirms that) I will be only rolling out 7.3 when I have the need to deploy (or redeploy) a server. That being the case, how good is ext3??!! I had this discussion with many people at Linux Kongress and the consenus was overwhelmingly the everyone was using ext3, but this seemed to be as much because the other developers thought Hans Reiser was an idiot as becuse ext3 was technically superior. (Unfortunately I have not met Hans, so I cannot comment one way or the other) Thought?! Comments?! Flames?! ie. tell me why Hans is not and idiot so I can continue using ReiserFS :-) or why I SHOULD use ext3 (Forget backward compatibility with ext2 as I know that already and am uninterested) -- Viel Spaß Peter Nixon - nix@susesecurity.com SuSE Security FAQ Maintainer http://www.susesecurity.com/faq/ "If you think cryptography will solve the problem, then you don't understand cryptography and you don't understand your problem."
