Through a time-warp on my mail provider I only received your mail of [EMAIL PROTECTED]:12:48+0200(CEST) today, but I won't miss the chance to respond to your flame-bait.

Ext3 is fine but probably slower. >> Avoid ext2 unless you don't mind spending hours >> fscking 1,4 Tb of storage in case of power failure >> or whatever. > > I must agree. Reiserfs is quite fast but not very > reliable. It doesn't support ACLs (AFAIK), > reiserfsck is completely broken (unlike other fs > with reiser you have almost no chance to save data > after fs corruption). If you know Hans Reiser, you > understand ... What a bunch of FUD crap, Honza and Thierry. Every file-system can develop pathological non-recoverable corruption, especially if it is used by some seriously experience-challenged users. To generalize your sad case with such words and to attack the creator of reiserfsck with such innuendo as you do, only gives a bad impression of yourself. I'm using reiserfsck exclusively and must say that one thing alone in your mail is true - the fact that reiserfs is really fast, in fact orders of magnitude faster than any other fs when it comes to directory browsing and manipulation, which is very important for the clumsy SMB protocol. Everything else you write about it is BS! reiserfs complies fully with APIs for ACLs and EAs. Unfortunately, samba team would rather start writing non-POSIX samba from scratch than use the elegant transparency of reiserfs's streams. samba can and does use quite nicely reiserfs's ACLs though. If you don't know how to set the mount options to enable these features, tough, you're out of luck, pal. But if you ask nicely, I'm sure someone will let you know. I've had some severe corruptions on a striped JBOD under thermal strain, I mean real physical corruption and reiserfsck just repaired it like nothing. Sure, it warns you quite verbosely that by typing in exactly "Yes", case-sensitive and all, you may eventually kiss your fs good-by, but any serious fsck does the same. If you're scared shitless of the more articulate manner of stating it in reierfsck, then tough luck again. But the question ist, have you yourself suffered? Tell us your story. Don't just spread the hear-say. People like you should stay away from reiserfs, for their own good. Stick to what you know and feel comfortable with. I'm sure xfs is a decent system but it didn't work for me quite as well as reiserfs. But that wouldn't justify me to say that its authors thereof are arseholes or hobos or pinkos or whatever you meant by those ominous three dots in a row, just slightly slower-witted and I can put figures where my mouth is, as I did in several postings before.
