The only comment I'll make is that Reiserfs doesn't support SELinux.
That it's "non issue" for a new server, reiser3 is getting obsolete,
it's advantages are not enough to try the risk,
Why do you say that?
- upstream has serious real life troubles
- SuSE is not anymore so interested in reiser3
- a continuously changing linux kernel may lock a reiser user to an old
version (pain for a security oriented system)
- ext3 evolving and becoming ext4 in a reasonable mount of time
- major advantages only with _many_ files in one single directory
don't get me wrong I liked and still like reiserfs but it's time is gone
I've been lurking on this list for a while, running a couple of hardened
servers, and the Gentoo guidelines for servers suggest reiser as the fs.
I guess my couple of questions are,
1) What does what SUSE's interest in reiser have to do with anything?
(Serious question here, not an attempt at a troll, I really am curious
as I don't follow along very closely)
2) Is there anything other than backing up a partition, and mkfs'ing to
a different format? I.E. some type of conversion utility for
reiserfs->other format?
