This is NOT the same, since ReiserFS was generaly developed by ONE KEY PERSON "Hans Reiser" where the Linux Kernel itself has several 1000 contributors which can take over at any time... Of course, ReiserFS is only a small part of the Kernel and they are enough other FileSystems... > > Better to make the switch now, starting with new hardware.

Even with ext3 and powerfails I have had never problems with it... Do you have seperated partitions for 1) Operating System 2) /tmp 3) /var/log 4) Data On my production server, I have partitions like: sda1 1000 MB Rescue system READ ONLY sda2 4000 MB SWAP sda3 10000 MB /tmp sda5 2000 MB Production 1 / READ ONLY sda6 2000 MB Production 1 /var/log sda7 2000 MB Production 2 / READ ONLY sda8 2000 MB Production 2 /var/log If the system goes down and I was in "Production 1" I boot automaticaly the next time into "Production 2" which is a copy of "Production 1" and I can check "Production 1" without any problems... And if "Production 2" fails for any reason, I can boot automaticaly into "Rescue" for recovery...
