My experience with Reiser is exact opposite. Exf3 has not caused any problems to me ever. Reiser corrupted the file system a couple of times beyond the point of recovery. Also the recovery in Exf3 is much faster. Exf3 simply replays the journal and that's it. Reiser was re-playing records one by one and that usually took much longer (both tested on AMD 64 with 1GB of memory) Your reported experience is irrelevant to the discussion. Reiserfs is technically what it is... no more... no less. It is a superior filesystem to EXTx for several technical reasons which are incompatible with your experience. I would have to question your experience. This is a technical discussion, not a religious testimony.
Having said all of that--- EXTx does work... very well... has for many many years and will continue to for many many more years. But, reiserfs is better... hands down. (or should I say Hans down) The technical achievement of reiserfs is also completely not relevant to whether Hans Reiser allegedly murdered his own wife. From the looks of things the trial is going to be very complicated... her lover is a known (confessed) serial murderer... "he" probably did it. On the other hand we all may be looking at a simple case of murderous rage after jealousy. It doesn't matter to the technical community... all of my systems are running reiserfs and have for several years now... flawlessly, I might add. As a postscript... I remember one problem I had with reiserfs with SuSE Professional 9.0--- the machine went down in a thunder storm and following would not reboot. The index was so honked that fsck would not run automatically. I had to boot into recovery mode and manually run reiserfsck with a rebuild-index. It ran for about 22 seconds, rebuilt the index--- the journal restored the meta data... and whalla, the machine was back on-line in less than five minutes... and most of that time was spent trying to find my recovery CD. :-P -- Kind regards, M Harris <>< -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
