I too like reiserfs. I've been using it in a development system for several months without a data failure. There is only one thing I noticed that makes it not perform like ext2. We have a data acquisition program running in the linux box. The data is stored to disk in fixed block sizes. At the same time another program is displaying the data on the monitor. This program checks the data file periodically for new blocks to display. When running on a reiserfs system, the update stops and I have to re-read the file to display the new blocks. In an ext2 system I don't see this behavior. It seems like the file's info is not updated quickly enough. On the other hand these data files can be large, several megabytes, and as I understand it, reiserfs is best suited for small files (although I don't know how small "small" is.) -- Rafael Herrera Laboratory for Computational Neuroscience University of Pittsburgh http://www.neuronet.pitt.edu/~raffo -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
