The experience with a lot of people with ReiserFS is that it's great and fast until something goes wrong, and then it's a disaster. At this point, the file system also has a questionable future, and the kernel developers are leery of it. That's enough to make me want to go somewhere else for a file system. > I remember see an online presentation from an AFS workshop were XFS > was considered best than ext3 for /vicep partitions. My personal take on file systems is that smallish differentials in speed aren't worth worrying about compared to robustness and reliability, so I tend to run the most mainstream, most widely-used file system on whatever platform I'm using rather than try to squeeze a bit of additional peroformance by running something a bit more edgy. Right now, ext3 is the middle of the road and I think the safe choice. XFS is a lot better than ReiserFS, though, in terms of support and knowledge by the kernel developers, and would probably be fine. It is faster for a lot of usage profiles than ext3. > Thank you.

I wish I knew more concrete details about what could have gone wrong. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
