The reiserfs is an alternate filesystem to the standard ext2. It's faster,
and more importantly, it's a journaling file system. There are two big
reasons why I believe it's better for the Libretto (and why I upgraded to
2.4.8):
- If your Libby runs out of battery, you won't wind up with a corrupted
disk
- Related to that, there is no time-consuming ext2 fsck (filesystem
check) when your computer boots with an imporperly unmounted (i.e. power
failure) disk
http://www.namesys.com is the place to be. Note that for best results,
compile your own kernel (2.4.8 comes with it built in, no patching
necessary).
