In my experience the need for recovery tools is much smaller with ReiserFS. Internal journal replay seems to be very reliable compared to ext3. This might depend on specific hardware, though. Regards BTW: On broken hardware (power regulation), three reiserfs filesystems - two of them heavily used - survived ~100 hard crashes without any unexpected loss of data or any inconsistencies. In every case journal replay worked flawlessly, reiserfschk was never needed. My experiences with ext3 - and especially XFS - are much worse. (To be honest, XFS suffered from an actual bug, not a design issue. Some pages *never* got flushed to disk before umount. This has been fixed a while ago.) -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
