I have mix of various sizes. The best feature about ReiserFS is that it doesn't do inodes, so I don't have to be psychic about my future file mix when I format the partition. For that reason alone, I'm tempted to stay with ReiserFS3. I'm aware of the booby traps... - *NEVER EVER* have an uncompressed ReiserFS image on a ReiserFS partition - avoid Postfix and Qmail And I expect it to continue running OK. -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org> I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
