don't use it in kernels that reiserfs does not support --- - if you value data, don't have data stored only on reiserfs and backup data on reiserfs to ext3 wont help if you dont trust reiserfs - i've had reiserfs eat itself up ... but seems to be okay in the past year or so ( slack-9 w/ past 2 version of reiserfs-3.6.11 - 3.6.14 seems to be ok .. add sarge, fedora, etc to the list too ) - i always use the latest 2.4 or 2.6 kernels and primary apps at the time the new machine is being built - i'd use reiserfs over ext3 any day .. next step is to play with xfs, jfs c ya alvin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
