I'm going to have to agree with Eugenio on this... Not sure how hard it
would be to implement this file system into your current installer and
kernel set up, but it would be GREAT if this was an option. Perhaps some of
the Mandrake developers could try it out and compare XFS with Reiser and see
which one they prefer before just assuming that Reiser is the way to go. Not
to mention a little edge on RH is always nice for those of us that like to
brag about how great our Mandrake systems run.... =)
Just my 2 cents on this topic...
