http://web.mit.edu/tytso/www/linux/ext2intro.html This page provides more detailed information about reiserfs (that's version 3, not 4, just to be clear): http://homes.cerias.purdue.edu/~florian/reiser/reiserfs.php If you're not familiar with the basic ideas behind hard disks and partitions, and the difference between a partition and a filesystem, Ranish's partitioning primer does a good job of explaining that. http://www.ranish.com/part/primer.htm -- Matt Stegman On Mon, 15 Aug 2005, Payal Rathod wrote: > Hi, > The whole filesystem idea is seemingly interesting to me.
