Old reiserfs versions, like those that come with 7.2 and before can have problems with disk intensive operations, like runnin postfix on it on a high intake mail server..
I had this problem myself, and it was on a box that only did 6000 odd emails a day.. got heaps of error messages in the logs from postfix reporting file system problems, I asked on the postfix list and its a known issue with reiserfs, which has apparently been fixed with 8.1's version.. I have not had any problems yet,, but have yet to put it on the mail server... in all other areas, Reiserfs has been flawless.. I look forward to the upcoming complete rebuild of it. rgds Frank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Loke Kit Kai Sent: Thursday, 1 November 2001 11:44 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [newbie] Reiser FS/ext3/Redhat... may i know wat's wrong with ReiserFS? i thought a lot of ppl using that? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Ronald J.

Just as an observation, while on the Linux Lunacy trip, I got a chance to hear Michael Johnson of Redhat speak. He was asked by a software engineer from Brussels why not ReiserFS. Michael made comments to the effect of what you just said. However, to be fair, didn't ext3 fail Civileme's sledgehammer hardware test? So...I guess there are valid concerns both ways. Once the ReiserFS gets a little maturity, do you think it will stack up better serverwise, against the ext3 fs? Later! ;-) -- /\ Dark><Lord \/
