Hi Praise,

I see.  I was just reading a linux journal article on the new 
Reiser4 file system.  In it Hans Reiser claims to slash the time 
it takes to read a file in half from the found in the current 
Reiser3 file system (certainly a bottleneck).  The article does not 
mention anything about how much RAM is used for disk i/o just by 
the file system itself.  Does anyone on this list know if this has 
been improved?  I guess Reiser4 is slated to come out in June, 
2003 so it probably won't be included with SuSE 8.2 which I 
preordered from SuSE and still haven't received yet.  Perhaps 
Hans and his team won't have it ready until the stable release 
of the new 2.6 kernel.  Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

I don't use quota but I just noticed that NTFS also supports 
quotas in XP home.
