Perhaps we had just one reiser-related crash too much, but for now we are running fine on ext3 with the first xfs-(non-IRIX)-machines for not-that-critical applications. > I think they are all pretty much on par now.

AFAIK raiser and ext3 are the only ones in so far. 2.4.26 has ext3, reiserfs, jfs and xfs. Regards, Christoph -- Spare Space
