My experiences are different though. I had a few times hard resets on ext3, and experienced open files, which got throwed away, just like on ext2. This was just what I hated ext2 for. It was in the default mode, so if I had chosen to continue on using ext3, I would have switched to the slower/safer mode. The only time I had a bad experience with reiserfs was when I switched from the mdk 8.2 kernel, to a selfcompiled 2.4.18 kernel. After a crash (testing a ppscsi scanner), I had to do a rebuild of the reiserfs, which was rather ugly. I'm not sure what happened here. Maybe more people run into this problem on a 8.2 mdk box, with a vanilla 2.4.18 kernel? > > In the 9.0 installer, during the "Setup filesystem" stage, when you > > create a new partition, by default its filesystem type is tset to ext3fs. > > > > Now I have to tell all the newbie converts that install Linux to > > manually change it to ReiserFS, because it is a more advanced filesystem. > > After all, ext3 is just ext2 with a journal strapped-on.
