A case of YMMV I'm afraid I will not touch ext2/3 again except for /boot (because its simple and does not seem to have problems - as long as you leave it unmounted that is - live and learn!) as it is the only file system I regularly lost files on (a laptop that would crash every couple of weeks due to hardware/suspend to ram etc issues), and whole filesystems (40G files + OS at christmas for instance. reiserfs isnt perfect, some years back I lost a few minor files (this is not counting hardware failure where I have experience that reiserfs handles failing/failed disks far better than ext2/3 - important when you want to get the data off!
Others seem to have good things to say about ext 2/3 though, so its a case of try it and see how it works for you. BillK On Sun, 2005-04-17 at 23:47 +0530, Mrugesh Karnik wrote: > Volker Armin Hemmann wrote: > > Hi, -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
