Certainly going to reiserfs will let you gain a drop in reliability. I wouldn't dare put my data on reiserfs anymore. I only use ext3 (I had been issues with xfs on x86 around 2.6.9 - 2.6.11). ext3 works, it has a good balance of performance for large and small files (xfs can get dreadful when you try to copy or delete a lot of small files) and it works. I have not tried JFS ever so I can't comment on it. -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
