To be clear, there is a difference in Software RAID vs HW RAID :~) Regards, Jon On Tue, 28 Aug 2001, Martin Webster wrote:

Has anyone experimented with using the Reiser file system? I am looking to install Suse 7.1 or Suse 7.2 when I get it :) This machine is a Netfinity 5500 with a Raid 5 SCSI controller in it. I have 69 gigs available. The problem is the file block size. With web files being as small as they are I can eat a lot of hard drive space using the default 4K blocks with ext2.
I tried to install today with Resier FS for the / partition. I made /boot and swap Ext2 as recommenced by the Suse manual. The install froze on every attempt. I went back and tried the Suse install using ext2 and everything installed normally. Tried again with Reiser, froze. To verify it was not just Suse, I tried Mandrake 8 with Reiser, same deal.
Has anyone else experienced this on a similar configuration?
** You cannot use ReiserFS with RAID5! ** There are no limitations with hardware RAID.
