Want to share some experiences regarding Ext-3 on Alphas ? Specifically, do you: - use journalling - use it on a SMP box And further, did you try to test the journalling ( like turning off the machine in the middle of some disk-ops and restart it to see what happens ) ? Do you use large files ( >2Gbytes ) ? Is your Ext-3 under heavy load ? I'm planning on using Ext-3 on my UP2000 with kernel 2.4.1, as soon as I receive some positive news. I know of ReiserFS, but currently, it's not an option for me. The disks will be IDE drives with a little IDE to SCSI converter, to make them look like normal SCSI drives ( 80 Gig IDE drives are sooo much cheaper ;-) I *really* want some rock-solid journalling FS and I hope, it's going to be Ext-3, since it looks the most convincing of the current projects to me. Excuse: I know, this is not a debian/alpha issue, strictly speaking, but IMHO, this might be of interest for a lot of debian/alpha users. Sorry, if this mail is of annoyance to anybody on this list - this was not intended.
