my only problem with reiserfs was, when last month a thunder stroke into a tree nearby, destroyed a hard drive mobile rack and two of the 3 reisefs partitions of the built in harddisk. I was lucky, one was a spare partition, the other one /usr/portage. But I had no software-problems related to reiserfs EVER. I had two dying harddisks, but even the ext2/swap partitions didn't survive that, so why should reiserfs. Glück Auf Volker -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
