for linux, prefere ext3
Slight hijack.
Why? When I started using SUSE it defaulted, I think, to reiserfs. I've been using that ever since. Just installed it on two 360GB USB drives. Any reason to change while I still have the space to do so? -ds
In this case, for an external drive to be used for backup, ext3 is better as it can be used from windows easily. It is also easier to repair. If you have your normal internal partitions using reiserfs, that's fine. There is no reason to change. If you search this list archive you will see probably hundreds of emails discussing this very question. For external... I'm not so sure. What happens in case of accidental unplugging while writing, will it be repairable? Maybe it works perfect, maybe not: I simply do not know either way. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
