List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: I've got a Dell PE-1550 with a PERC3-DC (dual channel) RAID card. I'm using ReiserFS 3.6.25 but with a 3.5.x file format on-disk. I'm having trouble symlinking in a directory which contains hundreds of thousands of files to another directory slightly smaller. After I make the link, I get garbage in a 'ls -lF'; i.e., the listing shows the correct target, but adds what looks like line-noise to the end of the filename. Of course, the link is broken, and eventually, the kernel loses its mind and crashes the machine. I've been doing some reading on ReiserFS and know that it has trouble with NFS in certain situations. I'd like to know if my problem is NFS-related or ReiserFS-related. Can someone help me understand what that situation is, how to determine if I'm in that situation, and possibly help me to decide (if ReiserFS is the problem) if XFS will help?
