>From what I understand, Reiserfs is a "built from the ground up" Journaling file system... Ext3 is some journaling features bolted onto ext2, with gives it some of the benefits of journaling filesystems with backward compatability with ext2, which is the predominant reason that redhat choose to use it... I don't believe that it has tested as being any more or less "stable" then reiserfs, but it is slower at nearly everything (particularly small files.) since it has at its roots, ext2, which is an old, unoptimised filesystem comparative to the newer FS like reiser.... hope that makes sense... rgds Frank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Expert Sent: Thursday, 30 August 2001 1:43 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [expert] ext3 support in 8.1?
