Hi reiser users and developers :), I am in the process of deploying linux in a whole computer lab on my university. I've already setup a mail and ssh server which is working pretty well. All the partitions on the server machine are reiserfs, since I was free to install whatever I wanted and reiser is the fs I've had been more satisfies with, especially since 2.4.20-pre6 - it is working way better than it did on 2.4.18 -.
So far so good. The truth is I don't have that much experience with NFS, and I want to have /home on this server machines for all the student accounts. Initially it is only going to be used by the CS students and those who want to try linux. Later on, when it's been proved it's working reliably, I've been promised we would be able to erase the Exchange server completely (I just can't see the time to get rid of that ***) and use Linux for all mail purposes. As I said, I'm a newbie on NFS, and I've been reading quite a lot about the interactions of it with journalling file systems. Namely, last thing I remeber is I should put the journal on a different volume, if at all possible, when using reiser - I wonder if it is enough a different partition, or it'll really benefit from splitting it between two different physical HDs -. That's my question then. What do you suggest me to get the most out of reiserfs (with which I'm really happy) for a server storing /home. Even if at the beginning it'll be small (only a few students), it'll most probably will be deployed campus-wide later on, hence I'd much prefer to set it up in a scalable way - storage space and speed-wise - from day one.
