Has anyone experienced a sudden crash when using reiserfs on one partition and ext2 on another?
I've never been successfully able to use resierfs for more than a few weeks, but I've never figured out why. I've searched for messages about this for a long time - A few other prople have had problems, and many have not. Never found a reason or pattern.
I had a problem running *adjacent* ext3 and reiserfs partitions on the same physical disk. When I distributed the filesystems to partitions on different hard drives, my file corruption problems went away. Eventually, I determined that it was a limitation in the driver for the IDE controller chip used on the mainboard. IOW, these problems/stories are sometimes tied to specific hardware but the filesystems are 'blamed.' Carl
