I seem to remember reading something either by him or quoting him, which iirc in essence said that none of the distros people understood reiserfs properly, that suse's changes were wrong, and even his developers don't fully understand it.
Souce please...
Resiserfs is at a dead end, and with hindsight it could have been seen to be a dead end way back.
Ext2 and 3 are equally candidates for dead-end-ism. The only reason suse re-emphasized ext2/3 is because RedHat does all the maintenance for them. There are more than a few published benchmarks on this topic such as http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/388/print But it seems pointless to re-start this discussion, especially in the light of comments like: "with hindsight it could have been seen to be a dead end way back" -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
