Yes, that's the funny part. It's a hard topic (and an off topic here) to get into. So, I'll just clarify a couple things and then let whoever wants to have the last word. > Had one pretty messy FS crash once, but reiser-tools fixed it up > reasonably well (got back all the files I didn't have on tape yet > anyway). This doesn't sound too good. In years of using ext2 I can't actually remember losing data. We lost data on several machines in 9 months of running reiser. > ext3 will have the same directory-list performance as ext2, which is > what the original topic was. No doubt you are right that I was getting into a different subject. I *only* brought up our experience because I would not recommend reiser to anyone right now. We too got sucked in because of performance promises, and to be sure it is performant, but data lose is unacceptable. Another person said that we must have had kernel problems. I know this is the standard cry from the reiser guys, but without belaboring this point too much, we have a lot of experience not only in properly configuring kernels, but in driver development and kernel instrumentations. I have fairly high confidence that we were doing what we were supposed to and, therefore, grave concerns about the reiserfs. In retrospect it seems more clear to me that we should have taken the fact that they seem to be the only major FS team that consistently finds problems with both the kernel and commonly deployed hardware. Maybe there are kernel problems and maybe there are hardware problems, but the other FS's manage to keep the data safe despite that. It's a telling thing that reiser cannot. Ok, so that's my last word on the subject (on this forum anyway). Fire away if you want to correct my grossly naive statements one last time... :-) rw2 _______________________________________________ Spamassassin-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/spamassassin-talk
