the best way to keep a working system is to use 2.2 kernels ;-) but for 2.4 i imagine paulus tree is best. the bk tree is bleeding edge. there is no need to 2.2 trees anymore, 2.2.18 and 2.2.19pre13 and later are perfectly fine. > I was looking at the reiserfs web site yesterday, and it said that there were > reports of their FS working on x86 and ppc.

Is this also true for the patch for 2.2 kernels? they must have an interesting definition of `working' then reiserfs works fine on x86 of course, but its totally broken on powerpc. Jeffm has it compiling and to where `touch foo' causes a kernel panic if you call that working more power to ya. the current versions of reiserfs do not work on big endian archtectures, such as powerpc, sparc and m68k to name a few. -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
