Why exactly are some of us so attached to Reiser3 and hoping for Reiser4? There are other efficient journaling fs out there...
For me it is because I don't have to worry about a 3 hour startup cycle aver 22 restarts or whatever the timeout is with ext3. That is pretty much my only reason for using Reiser3.
That's your only reason? I have other reasons, mainly performance. I just did a quick and dirty "what the heck" filesystem performance test on my OS10.3 workstation at home, where I use reiserfs, but also have ext3 and xfs test partitions.
The test simply consisted of timing the copy of a dvd image to another partition.
The results are:
copy to ext3: real 7m52.656s user 0m0.268s sys 0m20.870s
copy to xfs: real 3m40.490s user 0m0.213s sys 0m12.132s
copy to reiser: real 3m23.966s user 0m0.226s sys 0m19.417s
bleh, ext3 took over twice as long as either reiser or xfs.

Confirms my gut feel about the performance of the one (and probably only ever) ext3 partition which I set up as a bit of an experiment. - -- ============================================================================== I have always wished that my computer would be as easy to use as my telephone.
