Btrfs? I don't know how it compares to reiserfs in terms of small files.
Target is 'same or better'. I have no complaints about performance; I just wish the fsck on boot actually did something :-/ Ah, yes, that is keeping me out:-(
I've been using it on my workstation since I installed 12.3 few months back. It seems remarkably resilient. I have everything on it including /boot. Last month I did a liveCD boot and ran the utility that does do the FSCK or equivalent clean up and tree balance/repair. Recall, everything is part of a tree with BtrFS. Varonis (?sp?) has many performance and other analysis and reports. Reality is that unless you're pushing a particular kind of task which makes specific and extreme demands (huge video file editing, creation/deleting of thousands of small files) most of the file systems are good general purpose ones. Reality is that journalling & recovery might be the most important thing going! -- "We must fall back upon the old axiom that when all other contingencies fail, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth." -- Sherlock Holmes, in "The Adventure of the Bruce-Partington Plans" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
