<cool> reiserfsck --check reiserfsck --fix-fixable </cool> <shudder> reiserfsck --rebuild-sb reiserfsck --rebuild-tree </shudder> Reiser definitely has its benefits. I have seen reports of people that use it for news servers where expires normally take hours. With reiser it does it in (IIRC) 15 minutes or less. When things go wrong, a newbie is scared by the daunting task of repairing the fs. Had one on IRC just the other day. Newbie shuffled power wires around to add a fan. He ended up overloading one segment and his drive started writing bad data. He had to do a rebuild-tree to get it all back. He learned a lot that night. Unfortunately, it scared him so much that he swore to never use Reiser again. (That's the wrong attitude because on any other file system, the abuse he put it through might have rendered it completely useless). Blue skies...
