Well... 11.0 corupts external HD formated as reiserfs, via USB. 11.1 crashed till the last kernel updated if you had a reiserfs and beagle was running.
I've heard reiserfs can kill more than just the file system...
The problem was BEAGLE, not resier. reiser has been one of the most stable and fastest file systems for a long time. SuSE standardized on it for a reason. I wouldn't run ext3 on anything because it's nowhere near as fast or stable as reiser. The only time i have ever lost data on a reiserfs is when I got a bad sector in the fstab of the partition, and I was able to recover it with dd_rescue. And that's using it for almost 10 years. Haven't seen any other fs recover from a bad poweroff faster than reiser.
I've used reiser since 7.3 and have yet to have *any* problems with it. Absolutely none, and I've had quite a few power outages hit me when I didn't have a UPS hooked up...reiser rebooted, did whatever it does and I was going about my business as if nothing had happened. I love reiser and it's just another reason I'll stay with 10.3 and go no further on opensuse release since Carlos seems to be having more and more problems with it on everything above 10.3. That's good enough for me to go no further. Beagle, on 10.3 just plain sucked and I removed it as soon as I found out what the heck was slowing my system down so badly. That's all I needed to learn or do about Beagle since then, heh. -- Stupidity should be unbearably painful! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
