It should also be noted that reiserfs may be getting some bitrot over the |
| 14 |
years. I haven't used it for a while now, but when I converted an old PC from |
| 15 |
reiserfs to ext4 it acquired a new lease of life in terms of performance. For |
| 16 |
every day personal use I tend to prefer it, although I also use btrfs on a |
| 17 |
trial basis. |
