I am about to install openSuSE 10.2 on two new computers and see that the 10.2 default file system is ext3 and not Reiser. I'd like some advice as whether to accept the ext3 default or to go with Reiser as I have in the past.
reiserfs is dead!
Yes, and I was burned by reiserfs a couple times.
My next upgrade, I converted to ext3 and xfs. Despite several power-failures (in Iraq during generator maintenance), I never lost a single file with ext3 and xfs.
Here is my system: $ mount | grep / /dev/sda5 on / type ext3 (rw,acl,user_xattr) /dev/sda6 on /usr type xfs (rw) /dev/sda7 on /var type xfs (rw) /dev/sda8 on /opt type xfs (rw) /dev/sda11 on /home type xfs (rw) /dev/sda9 on /tmp type xfs (rw) /dev/sdb1 on /windows/c type ntfs (ro,noexec,nosuid,nodev,gid=100,umask=0002,nls=utf8) proc on /proc type proc (rw) sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw) debugfs on /sys/kernel/debug type debugfs (rw) udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,mode=0620,gid=5) securityfs on /sys/kernel/security type securityfs (rw)
I hope I haven't missed this elsewhere, but I'd be interested to know if there are special reasons why you've used ext3 on / and xfs on your other Linux partitions - just as a pointer next time I'm setting up a disk.
