You could, I suppose, look at it one of two ways: * ext3 is a hack on an old system * ext2 was designed as an extensible, modular file system into which additional features can be added; and journaling is a natural fit. The large group of people happy with ext3 are likely to take the second view. > I also heard that ext3 is pretty slow > compared to reiser Depends on the purpose. If you have directories with many entries, then that's true. However, I understand that the ext3 driver will, at some point, use b-tree structures internally, speeding up access to files in large directories considerably. > , and they are both very reliable.

The standard UNIX permissions are preserved, in the form of user, group, and world permissions. However, rather than a single entry for each, user and group are lists. You can add additional users or groups to any fs object and set permissions for them individually. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
