I have reiser on 5 of my linux machines without problems. Actually I have been very happy. Now I am running 2.4.16, are there other people who have seen problems with 2.4.17? -----Original Message----- From: Fred K Ollinger [mailto:follinge@sas.upenn.edu] Sent: Friday, March 15, 2002 1:16 PM To: PLUG Subject: [PLUG] say no to reiser > ReiserFS is a journalling filesystem.

But you will wait indefinately if you try to reboot, at least you will if you compile reiser in 2.4.17. I have a friend who went through hell w/ reiser. She tried xfs and never looked back. I think that reiser is just too buggy to use, so many strange errors, I also think she had data loss. This makes ext2 look great in comparison, at least it's stable when treated nicely. Also, my friend pulled the plug w/ a big copy of xfs files. No troubles w/ xfs, no corruption or anything. I have seen rh and debian xfs install disks. I'm sure suse has it as it has everything (from what I heard) plus kitchen sink. :) Fred ______________________________________________________________________ Philadelphia Linux Users Group - http://www.phillylinux.org Announcements-http://lists.phillylinux.org/mail/listinfo/plug-announce General Discussion - http://lists.phillylinux.org/mail/listinfo/plug ______________________________________________________________________ Philadelphia Linux Users Group - http://www.phillylinux.org Announcements-http://lists.phillylinux.org/mail/listinfo/plug-announce General Discussion - http://lists.phillylinux.org/mail/listinfo/plug
