I want to run something that is fast for use as a system partition, pretty "tolerant" to crashes from disasters like power outages etc.
The system partition will reside on a Adaptec RAID-5.
I'm currently looking at ext3, ReiserFS and XFS. ReiserFS has always served me good, but as you all know, support and development is going downhill. Ext3 hasn't made itself famous for being fast, and XFS is still a "gray matter" in my world..
ReiserFS has *always* saved my bacon. The few power outages that have actually hit me, I had absolutely no problems rebooting my system and everything being just fine. I've used ReiserFS on my linux system since '00 and whether development is there or not, so long as ReiserFS is still there for me to use, it'll be used. -- When you remove the people's right to bear arms, you create slaves. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
