ext2 is rock solid, ext3 doesn't seem quite so, even if it isn't much more than a journalling system on top of ext2. The Oracle admin at work won't touch it due to continual errors, mount same partition, same format as ext2, errors disappear (I don't remember the errors). As for why this is better than that, google is your friend. > Greetings, Matthias > > PS: Is it possible to convert my ext3 based raid array w/o data loss to > ReiserFS? Yes.
