That would make sense, since they do all the Linux XFS developemnt on ia32 and ia64 boxes! At least they did when I worked in that group. But XFS is a very mature piece of code in general compared to ReiserFS, which is much newer piece of code. Maybe one day I'll have a chance to do a performance analysis between the two. They have different internal designs.
ReiserFS for 2.2 works just fine on big endian processors. Last time I went to all the trouble to set it up on my sparc box, I had to track down a patch for big-endian machines (the 2.2 implementation is one big patch, really kinda anyway), but it wasn't a big deal and it has worked quite well since. Perhaps they rev'd the release since then and the patch isn't necessary, I don't know off hand. People keep asking ... I suppose I should check one of these days. a Rahul Jain wrote: > > On Fri, May 04, 2001 at 11:11:02AM -0700, Mike Fedyk wrote: > > On Fri, May 04, 2001 at 05:41:52PM +0200, David N.
