I run a 28G disk, one partition, all reiser. I created the filesystem
back in 2.2.18, with the relevant reiserfs patch, and all was great.
I'm now using the same disk under 2.4.3, and some corruption has arrived
:(
The ends of some filenames contain unprintable characters, and the
filesystem code doesn't seem to like it very much -- the files exist and
contain data, they show up in an ls, but they can't be accessed; stat(),
unlink() and open() all fail with a file-not-found.
>personally, i'd think that reiserfs is far more stable than XFS,
I have a feeling it's because of a small change in the later code... I
can't be sure tho.
In any case, the next disk I get will be getting XFS on it. Time for
some fs duels.

Better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. And if he can't
be bothered to learn to fish and starves to death, that's a good enough
outcome for me.
