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. reiserfs is dead!
Not entirely, Reiserfs 3x is finished and is not going to receive further development. Reiserfs 4x is not complete, *but* the jury is still out on whether, and how much, development is currently taking place. see http://www.namesys.com/v4/v4.html and http://www.namesys.com/install_v4.html
No, his wife is.
Maybe. Maybe not. Nobody (of us) knows.
Having good (well: a lot of) expertise in media I don't believe a single word I read or hear in the news.
Regarding reiserfs:
I still use it, it survived several sudden power-downs, I'm happy with it, having countless text, photo and tar.gz files from some Kilobytes up to hundreds of MB's. Don't know, if that's very efficient, but it's fast and it works reliably (knock on wood).
Me too. I would add 'at least 100' sudden power-downs and I have never lost a single file. Additional Me Too of (knock on wood)
I'm just confused by the discussions I read here on this list. But apart from personal beliefs I havn't read a lot of helpful postings in this regard here, regrettably. It sometimes reminds me of the Win-Linux discussions (mine is better than yours, nyaaah nyaaah nyaaah)
Well, some were serious, I must admit...
