Has anyone else heard about this issue?
Most x86-64 systems in SuSE run with reiserfs and we're not aware of any problems.
I had many trouble with reiserfs, I wrote in the list already. Since I use ext3, the system works fine. If I use reiserfs then I have to install SuSE 9.0 again and again. reiserfs destroys filesystem, if the system hangs if I enable IDE-DMA. I have Shuttle AN5OR with SATA disk. At this time my system works wonderful (ext3 and IDE-DMA enabled). If you make experiments than is ext3 saver then reiserfs. This is my experience since December 2003. You can read it in the SuSE handbook, which properties the types of file system have. Reiser cannot restore the blocks on the harddisk self, but the Reiser journal only. The physical data can be corrupt and reiserfs can not repair them!!! Gruss Lothar
