I have been running my system very well using Reiserfs on all partitions, including root. However, yesterday my computer suffered a crash and on rebooting I found that the Opera bookmarks file contained all sorts of fragments of other files. I don't know if anything else was damaged, but I was using Opera when the crash occurred. Fortunately I have recently backed up /home so was able to make good the damage.
Thanks. Having heard of file corruption and Reiserfs with 2.4.x kernels, I decided to revert to ext2. Fortunately I had enough space on my drives to copy everything to a spare partition, reformat and reinstate. I did like Resierfs while I was using it, the journal idea is very nice. I wouldn't mind giving ext3 a go, but it would appear that there is no kernel patch for the 2.4.x kernels. Is this so? Has anyone actually used ext3 with Debian? -- Phillip Deackes Using Progeny Debian Linux
