I run ext3fs - if I need to do a dirty reboot, the boot time is far better than ext2fs, since I have 2 30G HDD's. So the fsck stage is skipped. As for data loss, I've had to reboot a number of times and have never lost data (but even then I do have my backups :) I'd think that for a desktop system, where an unknowledgable or lazy user might simply power off the machine rather than going through a controlled shutdown, a journalling FS would be a good thing to have - if nothing else, the chances of data loss are reduced compared to a non journalled FS. > And where are reiser-fs > implemented ? If I understand your question, ReiserFS is an alternative filesystem. You can partition a drive and format it with ReiserFS rather than ext3fs or ext2fs. Of course there are other journaling filesystems (XFS from SGI, JFS from IBM). http://www.namesys.com/ http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-fs.html The second link is the first part of a very nice series of articles on file systems. - -- - ------------------------------------------------------------------- Rajarshi Guha <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://jijo.cjb.net> GPG Fingerprint: 0CCA 8EE2 2EEB 25E2 AB04 06F7 1BB9 E634 9B87 56EE - ------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: What do you get when you cross a mosquito with a mountain climber?
