That is very intersting to read. I have noticed serious problems - particularly when compared to the pathetic NTFS - in directories with large numbers of files. My media directory has around 6000 files in various sub directories and it always kills konqeror when displaying any portion of it. Also, I paid particular attention to this part, "ReiserFS v3 is a dead end. Hans has been pushing reiser4 for years now and declared Reiser3 in maintenance mode. Any changes that aren't bug fixes are met with violent resistance. Reiser4 is not an incremental update and requires a reformat, which is unreasonable for most people." I thought I WAS on v4, so I'm curious why v3 is even discussed. > > No need to change a running installation, though. > But I'll use ext3 in all future installs to future-proof them. Yeah, it seems like the world is moving to ext3, which is also mentioned in the posting.
