thanks for your reply, dido! so you mean that ext3 filesystem is easier to configure/manage than the reiserfs? im still reading some stuffs on advanced filesystems and i really cannot speak for myself on it.
how about 2.4.13-rh7.2 combo? any good/bad observations? i think in the 2.4.13 kernel, we still need to have it patched to support ext3 filesystems (pls correct me if im wrong). thanks all! percy =) <orly and jijo, thanks for your help in kernel configs> =) --------------------------------------------------------------------- On Fri, Oct 26, 2001 at 08:51:48AM +0800, Percy wrote: > for those who've already installed RH7.2, any good stuff? how's the > GRUB and ext3 filesystems? any reviews? While I'm still using 7.1 on my laptop, I have gotten the latest patches for ext3 to my kernel and have been using them quite happily. Migration was quite painless to say the least, and it took all but a few moments of my time. I haven't tried to do serious benchmarking on it yet, but I have the feeling that speed-wise ext3 will probably be comparable in performance to ext2. Reiserfs looks like the future, but frankly I don't think it's entirely stable at this point...Until I can get tools that can non-destructively convert existing ext2 partitions to reiserfs I doubt that I'll be using it any time soon... Hard disks are also in short supply; I find I wind up using most of my money to get "other things"... -- Rafael R.
