Guys were telling me way back to use ext3 in preference to reiserfs while the kernel mailing list was dealing with a wave of ext3 corruptions. All my reiserfs corruptions then were actually due to failing IDE ports on motherboards (x4).
I had a reiserfs corruption caused by software.
So have I. And I've also had corruption on JFS partitions. No flame war intended 0:)
So, what does all this mean? Does it mean that the filesystems available for Linux OSs - such as openSUSE - are no better than those used in M$?
No. It simply means that if somebody says there never was a corruption problem with 'X' or 'Y' filesystem, it is just because he didn't find it, but I'm sure somebody else did. I have had corruptions with reiserfs, ext3, and xfs - ie, with all I have used in linux. And of course, also with fat. Ntfs I have used very little. No filesystem is completely and absolutely safe. That's my main point. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
