ReiserFS has always been solid for me, but people always seem to know someone who lost data with it. I suspect that nearly all these cases happened way back in the day, before 2.4 at least, when even the Reiser folks didn't consider it stable. > - XFS is pretty solid People seem to rave about XFS, especially for archives of large files. I imagine that a 4TB's of medical images would fit into this category. XFS also has rather good meta-data support, maybe this would be useful as well? -rob
