SuSE is big on Reiser, no XFS support. Gentoo supports it out of box, though, and Reiser as well. -----Original Message----- From: plug-admin@lists.phillylinux.org [mailto:plug-admin@lists.phillylinux.org] On Behalf Of Fred K Ollinger Sent: March 15, 2002 13:16 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
