As I understand it, and I could be wrong, you can read ext2 and ext3 filesystems from Windows using Explore2fs, but you can't do that with Reiser. If you want to be able to exchange files with Windows, you should stay with ext2 or ext3. (I have not verified that ext3 works, but it's supposed to.) --doug At 17:13 04/13/2003 -0400, Serge Naggar wrote:
I would review the files used and generated plus the way the fs will be used.
I went back to ext2/3 due to the ease of use and transferability. You can go to ext3 from ext2 with a change in fstab and vice versa. At the time I was using apps which recognized ext2 but not ext3 specifically.
From my reading of the different fses none towers above the others; each covers a need better than the others. Pick the fs which will satisfy your current fs use.

Thats cool. So I guess you haven't had any problems with it, eh?
I started using ext3 before SuSE officially supported journaling and have never had a probably with it.
