There are two different problems that you allude to. There were some problems with Reiser3 that were fixed. I am not convinced that all these were found and fixed. There is also a problem with the structure of Reiser3 that is not a problem with Reiser4. This is why Hans and the other developers of ReiserFS recommend not using Reiser3. This problem with the structure is what causes problems with repairing a filesystem with fsck.

I consider ReiserFS still a bit niche development. If it is not carried by the masses, some of the open source mechanisms don't scale well. It may not be tested as well on s390, for example. I believe early SuSE distributions had an endian problem in the ReiserFS utilities. I know of several installations that lost their data when fsck "repaired" things after an abrupt outage (could lead officials to the dead drives) I am just not very willing to try again. -Rob ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 __________________________________________________________________________________________________ CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This email from the State of California is for the sole use of the intended recipient and may contain confidential and privileged information.
