Hi, I heard lot of urban legend about flying away data from reiser3 4. I can never validate whether was FS, or user error, but some performance dropback for stability is more than acceptable for me. I used to develop home, but I haven't got enough money for UPS, and two HDD with mirroring. I used to create backups every month, but it gives just a minimal safety. So, thanks for your suggestion, but I won't use reiserFS, I know there are thousands of users, with millions of workhours without any trouble, but few negative feedbacks are enough me to fear ;) TIA.

I heard lot of urban legend about flying away data from reiser3 4. I can never validate whether was FS, or user error, but some performance dropback for stability is more than acceptable for me. I'd vote for urban legend/user error. I've always used ReiserFS on machines and have never had any data loss problems at all. I used to develop home, but I haven't got enough money for UPS, and two HDD with mirroring. I used to create backups every month, but it gives just a minimal safety. Hrm. You near the SF Bay Area? I have a couple APC 350 UPS units (small, but useful) that are cluttering up my apartment. :P -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
