On this 11.0 Alpha2 box I have /dev/sdb1 as / (JFS) 500G SATA /dev/sdb2 /boot (reiserfs) /dev/sda1 /ftp (ext3) 320G SATA Suddenly there was a system freeze that needed a hard reset and when booting, after the grub selection, a black screen appeared. I had to boot from 11.0 Alpha2 CD and run fsck. The ext3 partition was the one with the problem and it took ages to get through. The fsck for the reiserfs and JFS were all clean.
Last night on a box belonging to a relative on which I did a fresh 10.3 install to a new HD /dev/sda1 (160G PATA ext3), with the old 10.0 HD as /dev/sdb2 (80G PATA reiserfs), I inadvertently pulled the wrong plug and powered the box off. The ext3 drive drive took over an hour to fix, the reiserfs drive took minutes, complaining of 3 errors, quickly fixed with --fix-fixable.
Is there any chance we could have JFS as an install choice for 11.0?
Isn't JFS available in 10.3 - just with a big warning that it's untested?
The new kernel for Opensuse 11 has support for ReiserFS4?
What is about the support of ReiserFS4 as default file system in Opensuse 11?
I have now in my system (workstation) ext3, and from time to time when it executes the automatic fsck (60 days), it takes about 40 minutes for a hard disk of 250 GB, and in many of this cases, I hate only 30 minutes to see the emails and go out. With ReiserFS3, I not hate those problems to wait for use the workstation 30 or 40 minutes, as with ext3 happens.
I love the solidity of ext3. If it does check (wasting your time), you have a far better chance to "survive" against the others.
Two years ago are some people using Reiser4 without problems, and with true better perfomance compared to ext3: http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/7/16/148
But they are some Linux kernel saboteurs: http://linuxhelp.150m.com/jews/saboteurs.htm
A simple guide to include Reiser4: http://linuxhelp.150m.com/installs/compile-kernel.htm
We need support to be able to sleep at night.
Well, with this argument, do'nt include new features, do'nt build a new kernel version and do'nt build a new Opensuse version. Simply fix the bugs.
