I would consider what file system tools you need, for example if you plan on resizing your partitions a lot, XFS might not be the best choice. As in XFS you can always go bigger, but its a pain to go smaller. I would do a search of google for the proper tools, make sure that those tools are what you need. The point about the bug reports are valid in my book, if a company does not have the time to dedicate bug fixes, or lack of development maybe a new filesystem is in order. Its kind of like what flavor of ice cream one person likes, some like vanilla, some strawberry, etc ... I do find in my situation that I have caused most of my crashes, for example a keyboard locks up, or no matter what I do I can not get to a terminal, so I hit the reset switch. In a case like that I think any filesystem would have problems, I have used Reiser3, XFS, ext3, I did have corruptions in ext3, and Reiser3 but like I said it was probably user induced, right now I am using XFS, and ext3 in a boot partition. Its been pretty hardy when I have to hit the reset button due to lockups. In my case lockups happen due to the chipset I am using, I have the old 760 amd chipset used in an old dual mp tyan motherboard. These boards and chipsets are known to have errata regardless of the kernel options I pass to it. Gnu_Raiz -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
