Those parts in which reiser4 performed badly were omitted. sync, overwrite and append have been left out. The "rationale" being, that reiser4 is atomic, and applications don't need to use sync. Now, only someone needs to explain this to developersand users of multi-platform or existing applications.... In the slow.c benchmark (has been removed), the competitive XFS (the only filesystem using delayed allocation as well) was omitted. My experiences with reiser4 are: - slower than reiserfs3-notail in desktop workloads - annoying latency issues - strange behaviour of application up to failed ebuilds (maybe fixed meanwhile) Regards -- [email protected] mailing list
