Yes. The folks at namesys might agree with you also. You should take
a look
at their FAQ and specs... most of the time (like almost without exclusion)
reiserfs bugs turn out to be the hardware. I will also point out for your
benefit (hope it makes you feel a little better anyway) that every single one
of my own "lost drives" was a Maxtor drive... but to be fair... it is
never a question of "if" your drive will go out... its a matter of "when"
your drive will go out... and if you're running EXT3 when it goes out you're
going down.... if you're running reiserfs when it goes out you're also going
down. I hope you read the note I wrote to Pat too... but I would suspect that
your experience was hardware related and not reiserfs related--- seriously.
At any rate (as you might have guessed) I'm really hoping that openSUSE will
reconsider on making reiserfs the default... and I hope that a good group
will take the namesys folks on and help them get the Reiser4 fs into the
mainline kernel soon. The filesystem is good, and its worth saving and
promoting... regardless what happens with Hans.
