Without Prejudice:- I trust we all utilise and share our experiences here and without mentioning OT discussions, we are all after the one thing "Technical Excellence". We are discussing technical issues here and a statement, as mention Specs on paper and "superior" technology are not "always" the best route. are about as relevant "My gut feeling" You all have given me great technical resigns to use reiser, however mostly in our technical world there is normally some type of trade off. I respect your technical reasons, however if there is any Technical disadvantage we need to look at these (unknown) and form an opinion (Me here) on what Is better. Currently without technical disadvantages, my decision is clear and I thank everyone who allowed my to pick their brain for free Scott :-D Patrick Shanahan wrote:

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.
