I never understood why gentoo says this about reiserfs. |
| 18 |
reiserfs is actively mantained in the kernel tree, it's allways getting |
| 19 |
updated and bugs are fixed every release, this for me is a signal that |
| 20 |
it's being very tested, and the fact that it's in the main kernel tree |
| 21 |
for some time, and I never saw in kerneltrap.com, or in any other web |
| 22 |
page related to the kernel, or the kernel mailing list. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
I use reiserfs for a year now, in debian and now in gentoo, and I never |
| 25 |
had a problem with reiserfs. |
| 26 |
(I have a normal desktop setup) |
| 27 |
So, if you want a kernel with a fast file system, and other performance |
| 28 |
tweaks, go with reiserfs, preempt patch, and other similar stuff(that's |
| 29 |
what I do) |
