I know, same here. Back when I first chose reiserfs, it beat ext3 hands |
| 15 |
down. However, in the interim, ext3 has at least caught up, and passed |
| 16 |
resierfs in several categories (such as SMP performance, important with |
| 17 |
todays dual-core CPUs). I'm slowing switching my boxes all over to ext3 |
| 18 |
as I get a chance. No reason to frantically change them now, but also |
| 19 |
no reason to do new reiserfs installs either. |
