Yes. 8.2 works out of box. Use mount options acl forcool! couldn't find anything on the reiser website, so i assumed it couldn't do it.
ACLs and user_xattr for EAs.
After quite some experimenting in the beginning (ext3, jfs, xfs) it soon became clear that reiserfs is by far the best on all counts. I've read postings that xfs excells with very large files, e.g. movies, but I couldn't see any difference - reiserfs was just as fast). It's incredibly fast in directory manipulations,and (now that i have your attention... :)) what software do you use to backup your reisersf/acls partitions?
especially for very large directories with lakhs of files. Very parsimonious too. It doesn't compress data,
not yet, but it doesn't waste space like other fs's.
A full reiserfs volume could probably not be restored in an equally large ext3 volume. It works since about a year impeccably.
as what i read was that you can use basically any backup program to backup the data, but usually the acls are not backed up.
i heard amanda is supposed to be good?
anyway... i realise this is getting more and more off topic, so I'll not ask any further questions.
thanks very much for taking the time to advise!
yours, mourik jan
