I have used Reiser on several systems now, all of them are running flawlessly, one as a web/mail server one as a DNS server (BIND) and a couple of firewalls, uptimes on all of them are over 1month, some are closer to three months, all have been tested with hard resets to see how reiserfs coped with it,, 1. we NEVER suffered any data corruption or loss from reiserfs 2. It recovered very cleanly in all cases of hard resets on a variety of diffent hardware (everything from 166mmx to 1.2gig Athlon...) I am not sure I would use Reiserfs on mdk8 becaues I have heard bad stories about it on this list... (also not use if NFS is involved.) but I can say that I have never had a problem at all with MDK 7.2 and reiserfs..... I have not adopted Mandrake 8 as I didn't want to swap to iptables and stuff until I am sure they were sure they were stable...and I like to way for a second edition of a new version like 8 before I adopt it... so I am still on 7.2 and loving it... just wish we had more choice in the latest packages .... Thats my thoughts for the day.. :-) rgds Frank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Charles Punch Sent: Saturday, 1 September 2001 11:03 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] GRUB stage 1, freeze [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > howdy. got a bit of a problem, ............. > > i was using 7.2 and GRUB on this same box before -- only differences: > 1. / was ext2 not reiser (but the reiser booted fine at first, could that be > the problem?) It seems that I remember Civileme saying something about reiser not having all of the bugs worked out of it yet, or something to that effect. I was considering changing to reiser until I read his post about that. I don't remember his exact words, but it was enough to make me change my mind about reiser, until I hear of further developement. I'm not sure if this is relevant to your problem, but is maybe worth considering. ShalomOut Chal Elder PCUSA Registered Linux user # 217118
