Epilogue: I had the opportunity to compare installations on the same partition configuration and encryption on the same PC. If I look at ONLY the amount of time from Hard boot to full desktop functional availability; Reiser was by far the quickest to complete the process and faster under these conditions by 2 seconds than ex2 or ex3. As there are so so many number of variables I can think of - please do not take this as an arbitrary statement. If I have a power outage and the "server" in question is very busy writing I will let you all know how successful -replaying the journals and correcting any file damage is. Without the benefit of fault tolerance documentation on different file systems, this is a very poor guide as to the stability of a file system which requires repair. Ultimately, until definite questions can be answered with respect to fault tolerance/performance it will probably be left to individual preference or reliance on installation defaults - currently ex3 I believe. As so many people have contributed as to the man responsible for Reiser; future development will probably default to ex? by suse.
If we ever get closer to a file system that is pure TTS based, I suppose Reiser may be the closest, however future development unlikely. Thanks to all for the information and healthy discussion. I never take for granted those who take the time to add-respond to some of my zany questions and my thanks is heart felt. Scott 8-) >
