Reiserfs is more popular, because it is the default in SuSE. We've observed a fair number of cases where reiserfs fails at very high I/O rates, so we tend to use ext3 in places where we know it's going to get beaten hard. reiserfs performs slightly better than ext3 on filesystems that will have a lot of small files (that's its design point anyway) so you may need to mix and match. > Seems like reiserfs will allow resizing through the YaST GUI, whilst ext3 > filesystems forces CLI interaction. Install EVMS and use evmsn in place of the YaST storage gui. Then you get a nice front end for both, and a whole lot more. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
