Reiser uses more CPU then other filesystems. This isn't a problem with Intel boxes, but it can be a problem on s390.
Reiser small file support depends on 512 byte sectors. This works on FBA storage, but if you use a 3390 it doesn't work. I kind of suspect this is the cause of some filesystem corruption. -----Original Message----- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Eli Criffield Sent: Tuesday, September 20, 2005 11:37 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: LVM for system fs in production? > I would tend not to use reiserfs on s390.

I've used reiserfs for a while on production intel boxes and I've found the same things to be true, ext3 (and 2) do offer better last resort file system recovery, but at that point it would be easier to recover from backup anyway so that doesn't worry me to much. Is there anything about the s390 architecture that would be a bad match for reiserfs?
