This thread is getting a bit soft on technical details and/or value. Hans, please post the results of fsstress (the bits from ext3 cvs) on reiser4 on SMP machines of non-i386 architectures (e.g. ppc64, sparc64, ia64) as well as the results of transferring reiser4 filesystems between machines whose PAGE_SIZE, wordsize and endianness vary. -- wli - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
