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).
This is why I have used reiserfs up until now. I used to use ext2 (SUSE6.x days) and had real problems. That kind of put me off ext anything (logical or not, it is the reaction I had). I moved over to reiserfs and had flawless performance ever since.. over power losses, friends hitting the off switch because that's how they power down Windows, flaky power supplies... and so on. All along , reiserfs has worked. That said... for reasons discussed here... like scaling.. I am seriously considering a change. I wish ZFS was ready to go on Linux :-P That would be my top choice. It's so fast on Solaris... and robust as well. C. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
