I just tried converting a FS from reiser to ext4 and got a ridiculous 'out of space' message - it turned out that the 'lots-a-small-files' meant I ran out of inodes long, long before I ran out of data space. Does reiser allocate inodes dynamically? Yes. You could also use xfs. That's is exactly why I gave up on ext3 and ext4 because I've got too many small files. And for whatever reason, I found reiserfs 100 x more reliable than ext3. I've been using reiserfs for over 3 years and have NOT had to do a complete rebuild of the fs yet (except when I do upgrades - I always rebuild for upgrades - for me, it just works better)
I've been using ext3/4 for that long and haven't had to do a filesystem. These days, in this use case, I'd go with btrfs. It's ready. But XFS is perfectly adequate. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
