I have a MySQL database, running on SW RAID-0 over ext2, that wants to
grow beyond the 2GB file size limit of ext2. I will be moving the
database this week to a four-way SMP system with six drives, so I want
to take this opportunity to move to a file system that will support
larger file sizes.
Does anyone here have experience with ReiserFS or ext3 under software
RAID? What is the simplest option? Should I consider a development
kernel? What is the most robust option? (I will be moving to RAID-5
in the process, but I don't want to shift more responsibility onto
RAID error correction than I have to.)
