What FS reiser or ext3 is more suitable to handle large files, for example SQL DB data files which may be 500MB or more in size? Thanks. Alex
Listen, ext3 is fine for servers and gives faster better results for serving out nfs shares IMO. However, if you are planning on putting SuSE on a laptop ever as a workstation style install I would go with reiserfs simply because ext3 insists on doing a long filesystem
check
every 30 mounts or so. Also, recovery on a reiserfs after a system goes down seems to be faster but both are terribly consistent. Either one can survive a hard reboot with little problems.
