I am about to install openSuSE 10.2 on two new computers and see that the 10.2 default file system is ext3 and not Reiser. I'd like some advice as whether to accept the ext3 default or to go with Reiser as I have in the past.
The reiserfs will likely not get improvements, that's all. If it has worked for you in the past, you can just keep using it as safely as before. I use it. The reasons for yast offering ext3 by default were posted here time ago by the person making the decission. I don't have the link handy.
I have two 500 GB SATA II drives. My programs do lots of file I/O and can generate files as large as 15-20 GB in some of my scientific applications.
You could also consider xfs, it's very god for large files. Even better, test your application with both types of filesystem, and then decide. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
