The same is generally false for a file system. Problems came out in the long term and are _*/very/*_ difficult to solve. Additionally the behavior of a so young file system may vary a lot between arch's (also a common one like amd64) resuming: try (but test deeply) mm-sources also on server (you know it's dangerous) but stay away from reiser4 for the moment. P.S. Despite what said here personally I thing Hans Reiser file systems are very forward looking. With nice ideas. -- .................................................................... .
