So long as reiser is still supported(and even the bug that beagle uncovered was fixed), I'm gonna keep using it. 4.x was faster but never fully merged into the kernel.
I'm glad ext4 can handle such big files and such big filesystems. I'm sure this excites people doing video, sound and database stuff, which see to be so important to the future of Linux, as evidenced by what's going on in Hollywood, Wall Street and few other places. But there's more to life than big files. The bulk of the 'Net carries smaller files, html, images, web icons, mail, news. The majority of machines have smaller files, binaries, libraries ... Yes, I know ext4, and ext3, can be optimized for small files. BTDT. But Reiser seems more inherently flexible over a wide band of smaller situations without any tuning. What was that joke about not being able to tune a fish? I *like* the idea of a FS that you can't tune because you don't need to :-) -- Two key perspectives from Jim Collin's book "Good to Great". 1) "Being great is a decision" and 2) "Being good is an enemy of being great" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
