I don't know details about ReiserFS - this FS has been banned from all our systems a long time ago. I know a bit about ext3 and xfs though.
Interesting. I'd be interested in knowing why, if you can share that information.
You can find many people against, and many for it.
I'm using a Reiser-only installation right now, but it requires a rather large journal (at least, that is what the installation told me when I tried to create a small /boot partition, about 15 MB or so -- minimum partition size was stated at just over 100 MB).
Not exactly a large journal. But yes, there is a minimun size for a reiserfs parttition. I use ext2 for /boot.
Ext3 seems like a good alternative; I've never used xfs at all.
xfs is very good for large files. Some people recomend it for the /home directory. I use it for DVDs as well.
When the filesystem is marked as clean, then there is usually no need to do an fsck or to replay the journal - the filesystem should be in a
I thought you had to run fsck to determine if the filesystem is clean? As for replaying the journal, that seems to be a constant with Reiser. What you say definitely makes sense, but seems to be contradicted in practice, at least insofar as my log files tell me.
It is normal to do a fast test of reiserfs partitions during boot, and AFAIK, it run always. I'm not sure for ext3, but that could be also the case. XFS does also run a quick check when mounting. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
