I upgraded some lan clients to 10.2. I notice that new installs use ext3. Is the latter better? Faster? Is there a problem with reiser?
http://lwn.net/Articles/202780/ Summary: It does not scale. For uniprocessor, it should not make much difference. But reiser3 horribly bogs down on multi-core servers, for example during kernel compiles after a tarball was extracted (which is what happens with `rpmbuild kernel-default.spec`.)
fwiw and this is just an uneducated observation, ext3 thrashes the disk a lot more than reiser. You can hear it. On two identical scsi PII 450 clients the reiser is up before the ext3 everytime. That's why I'm not sure about nfs over multiple file systems. Another poster said that was irrelevant. I'm not so sure. When I say up I mean the time it takes to pressing the on button on the client and having a nis powered kdm login screen.
Un saludo, Lynn.
What I said, was that NFS doesn't care what the file system is. However, different file systems may affect performance for everything that accesses it, not just NFS. -- Use OpenOffice.org <http://www.openoffice.org> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
