Some things I have noticed: The good (2.2 kernels): * No problems at all using Reiserfs 3.5.x on 2.2 kernels * Speed improvements using Reiserfs and squid * No NFS problems * Rollback of logs is extremely fast vs. fsck The bad (2.2 kernels) * Nothing I can think of The bad (2.4.x kernels): * Some corruption problems with various 2.4.x kernels, but people are reporting ext2 problems, too, so this is probably due at least in part to IDE/PCI chipset issues * Some corruption problems if an application uses an nfs-mounted reiserfs partition during an unexpected shutdown of the nfs server The good (2.4.x kernels) * Reisefsck --rebuild-tree works fine for me when I get corruption problems I haven't used Windows to do any work in years. Just games. -Nick * Harald Dunkel (harri@synopsys.COM) [010403 05:17]: > Hi folks, > > If I get the DVD stuff working, then I won't need NT anymore, i.e. > I will have an empty disk. > > What is your impression about ReiserFS?
