I was running reiser4 for more than a year and found it rather temperamental |
| 19 |
on my hardware (hard lock ups, corrupted fs, etc). Eventually, I replaced it |
| 20 |
with ext4 and have not had problems since. For me reiser4 seemed to perform |
| 21 |
better (as in faster) than ext4, in all but mounting speeds. |
