[CentOS] ReiserFS - status?
Hi All. What is the status of ReiserFS in CentOS at the moment? I have some servers which use it as a loadable kernel module. I am thinking about a filesystem for database systems and would like to know if ReiserFS will be maintained in CentOS/Linux kernel in the future? Best regards, Rafal. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

The author and primary developer of the filesystem has some legal troubles and does not have an internet-connection at the moment, AFAIK. Describing the filesystem (and its author's) future as bleak wouldn't be an understatement IMO. Insert inappropriate word-plays and connotations here Is your use-case so extreme that the filesystem actually matters?

Since Hans Reiser will be in prison for the next 10 years and the homepage of the company namesys - which is/was the main developing team - is no longer reachable, I think the future will more than vague. I don't even know if there is someone in charge for the development. So I think this filesystem will slowly disappear.

Was rewriting huge chunks of the kernel really necessary? In the above link you can find comparisons between the various file systems, their advantages and disadvantages.

In the above link you can find comparisons between the various file systems, their advantages and disadvantages. Perhaps you can find something more contemporary that can help you? pretty good summary, but I take issue with the XFS summary statement, If you really like to tweak your system to meet your needs, XFS is a great way to go..XFS requires no tweaking at all, just `mkfs.xfs /dev/vg_bigdata/lvwhatever` and mount and go. Its not suitable as the root file system for CentOS (mostly because Anaconda doesn't know how to set it up), but for data volumes, its king.only caveat is, the system MUST be 64bit, and you should have a fair amount of RAM to ensure xfs_check can handle the bajillions of files and links likely to accumulate on larger volumes. -- john r pierce 37N 122W somewhere on the middle of the left coast ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

We used reiserfs for a while on SuSE systems thinking that it would be OK because it was the default. Unfortunately I have had several occassions where we had massive data loss with reiserfs so haven't used for several years. We moved to ext3 on the ``/'' file system with xfs on other file systems on SuSE with no problems. The ext3 systems seem to be bullet proof, and xfs doesn't require fsck in most cases.

Aside from not being supported by the CentOS kernels in base/updates, I would recommend against it. No major distributor seems to put development effort into reiserfs anymore and I have seen a lot of people having major recovery problems with it (e.g. when the internaly tree is badly damaged, reiserfs fsck may try to merge anything that looks like a reiserfs filesystem, like filesystems in disk images). -- Daniel ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

If you want a fire and forget solution, it isn't for you. As several others have mentioned, you need to jump through a lot of extra hoops to keep it operating and the data loss can be catestrophic if it fails. All that hassle for a bit of extra disk performance isn't really worth it. EXT3 is plenty fast enough for me. On the flipside, perhaps if you call Hans and agree to cover his legal bills you can get a good lifetime support contract. :) Cheers, ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
