Well... I'm using reiserfs, but I have had my problems. If a HD has bad sectors, or develops them, the reiserfs can not handle them, whereas ext2/3 does. Reiserfs needs the HD firmware to handle it transparently, which modern units do. Still... I don't understand why it hasn't being included in the design. The other complain I hear is that repair tools are insufficient. What I can say, is that some corruptions in a reiserfs are not detected on the boot scan: then the user detects some "funny" behaviors and has to issue reiserfsck from the CD. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
