It depends on what sort of "production" your are looking at. If I am providing a service for money, and my clients make money with that service, I have 5 reasons not to go into this type of production with reiser at this time: 1) liability (if the customer knows you are using a beta fs, and something happens.....) 2) Customer perception (many customers like to know what you are operating, and would not like the idea behind using a "non-standard" filesystem)3) reiser has "issues" with raid. 4) performance slows after 85% usage (have to monitor usage) 5) and last, you really have to keep up with the patches - not good, considering the downtime to the customer. >Do you know of any scenarios > where reiserfs always > fails? 1) qmail has problems (even with patch) 2) no streams support (for those who need it) 3) ide read starvation (I get this at times) But, like I said, I use it at home and I like it. Hopefully, it will be considered standard soon. Ron __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Shopping - Thousands of Stores.
