I have mix of various sizes. The best feature about ReiserFS is that |
| 16 |
it doesn't do inodes, so I don't have to be psychic about my future file |
| 17 |
mix when I format the partition. For that reason alone, I'm tempted to |
| 18 |
stay with ReiserFS3. I'm aware of the booby traps... |

- *NEVER EVER* have an uncompressed ReiserFS image on a ReiserFS |
| 21 |
partition |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
- avoid Postfix and Qmail |
| 24 |
|

And I expect it to continue running OK. |
