This is from a very humbled ex-ext3 user... I finally decided to play around |
| 20 |
with reiserfs a while back and I have to tell you... I'll never go back to |
| 21 |
ext3 unless I really, really have to. The difference is easy to measure and |
| 22 |
pleasure once you make the move |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
I've been setting up machines like this... |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
/boot ext2 |
| 27 |
/ reiserfs |
| 28 |
/home reiserfs |
| 29 |
/var reiserfs |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
The difference in disk I/O is... nice!! and the reliability is the same as |
| 32 |
ext3. Untill the "cold shoulder" for reiser4 is thawed and it gets into the |
| 33 |
kernel source tree, I'd stay away from it for now however. |
| 34 |

Cheers. |
