My experience with Reiser is exact opposite. Exf3 has not caused any problems to me ever. Reiser corrupted the file system a couple of times beyond the point of recovery. Also the recovery in Exf3 is much faster. Exf3 simply replays the journal and that's it. Reiser was re-playing records one by one and that usually took much longer (both tested on AMD 64 with 1GB of memory) Your reported experience is irrelevant to the discussion. Reiserfs is technically what it is... no more... no less. It is a superior filesystem to EXTx for several technical reasons which are incompatible with your experience. I would have to question your experience. This is a technical discussion, not a religious testimony.
No, there are problems with reiserfs. I also lost data when a reiserfs system crashed and was unrecoverable. Since, I have moved to exf3 and have not lost data. I will stand the extra four or five minutes when I reboot every other month or so for the file system checks. Specs on paper and "superior" technology are not "always" the best route. -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 OpenSUSE Linux http://en.opensuse.org/ Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
