if we are at recommending experimental fs, why not reiser4? |
| 29 |
Its atomic structure makes it very nice - and so far it survived a lot of crap |
| 30 |
it had to endure (like a lot of reset-button and plugs out of socket events). |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
And reiser4 has less bug reports than ext3 :P |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
But to get back on track: as long as he stays away from XFS it should not |
| 35 |
matter which fs he chooses (well, except jfs...) |
