Quite interesting. Can you describe any particular case of a different
behavior (samba + ext2 vs. samba + reiser)? I really wonder where the
roots of such differences are.
Sorry to disappoint you, Honza. After I evaluated the major linux fs's I
selected reiserfs and used it ever since.
I thought that there were no differences in the
way of using access times between all linux
native filesystems (ext2/3, reiser, xfs, jfs).
There shouldn't be any differences. The difference
pops up when a 3d party software like Office joins
the game.
I do not believe this! I looked
Agreed,, ext3 is used in lots of situations where Reiser would probably be
a better choice
As for nobody loosing data,,, I don't really think it matters what
Filesystem you have if your system decides to stick random bits on the
hard drive. Staying away from any of them won't help much.

Fine. Use reiserfs and don't worry about ctime.
Why? Does reiserfs handle ctime in a different way than other linux
filesystems?
It's not supposed to given the same instructions from clients but it
appears to because perhaps it elicits different kind of response from

But reiserfs doesn´t support ACLs. Does it?
Oh yes, it does. Big way.

I was under the impression that if i wanted acls, i
should use xfs, ext3 (or jsf i believe) but NOT
reisersf.
Am I wrong? Does (for example) SuSE 8.2 with

cool! couldn't find anything on the reiser website, so i assumed it
couldn't do it.
After quite some experimenting in the beginning (ext3,
jfs, xfs) it soon became clear that reiserfs is by

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.

It's a weird thing if it happens under normal

you fake the identity from within the Office
programs, well, I wouldn't bother really.
I totally agree !
