You should use whichever your anti-virus software needs. If the software supports both, then you will need to see which one fits your kernel. Depending on which anti-virus software you choose and which kernel you run, there probably won't be a choice anyway. But perhaps I can say a few things about Dazuko, DazukoFS, and RedirFS... Dazuko has the longest running track record, so it can be considered fairly stable. But it does not work with newer kernels. DazukoFS and RedirFS are both relatively new (with DazukoFS being _very_ new), so they may still have some stability issues. >From a user's perspective, RedirFS is easier to configure than DazukoFS. RedirFS simply needs to be loaded, whereas DazukoFS must also be set up to stack (in /etc/fstab). RedirFS should allow the system to run exactly as before, whereas DazukoFS does not support some filesystem features such as memory-mapped writing. RedirFS may be faster than DazukoFS because it hooks the real inodes rather than adding another inode layer. But this is also dependent on the RedirFS and DazukoFS implementations and there have not been any tests to show this. DazukoFS has been shown to be _much_ faster than Dazuko: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/dazuko-devel/2008-09/msg00002.html John Ogness -- Dazuko Maintainer _______________________________________________ Dazuko-help mailing list Dazuko-help@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/dazuko-help
