reiser fs buggy? was Re: [SLE] reiser vs. ext
I had some serious system lockup problems with SuSe 8.1 and reiserfs, but they were addressed with the "barrier=none" fix in the fstab. Now in SuSE 9.0, I am having similear system freeze issues with accessing some files on reiserfs. 9.0 doesn't like the barrier=none at all, and I haven't seen any postings on this issue. Has anybody seen any lockup issuses with SuSE 9.0 and reiserfs?? I'm pulling my hair out. I feel like my server is a sitting time bomb!

I am running XFS and REISERFS. I have my root XFS because I read some things about reiserfs not being too robust with bad block sparing and it scared me enough that I changed from reiserfs, also no more files with NULs in them. Read about some people losing entire reiser file systems on the list. I wish I was running a JFS root just to give a virtual finger to The SCO Group. If Darl thinks it infringes on The SCO Group then I am all for it. :) Best Regards. -- _/_/_/ Bob Pearson gottadoit@mailsnare.net _/_/_/ "Struggle, and you shall live".

The origin of that problem was also solved with a kernel update.
Now in SuSE 9.0, I am having similear system freeze issues with accessing some files on reiserfs. 9.0 doesn't like the barrier=none at all, and I haven't seen any postings on this issue.
That barrier problem dissapeared. Check you don't have badblocks on your HD (check kernel log) or other problems (run a reiserfsck while booted from the rescue CD). A HD read/write error will probably freeze your system when trying to access afected files. If the file is not crucial, system will survive - for the time being. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
