The Resierfs is a tree of FIVE levels--actually more of a forest since more than one root node exists. there are root nodes, pointer nodes which operate under an (about 2/3 full of data or create more nodes this level) rule, and unformatted nodes (not physically but logically unformatted) which conmtain (mostly contiguous and 100% filled) file data. SIZE, organization, timing and journals are other differences. If you have a full ext2 partition, it might not in fact FIT the same place with Reiserfs. ext2 is similar to keeping logical and physical storage close to the same and Reiser is a level of abstraction or two above that--a highly modified balanced tree/forest scheme.

[Cooker] Reiserfs woes - Latest Beta
I just installed a server, and for a laugh - and to stress test, I set it up to mail 1 emails to various users on our system, (throw away accounts) We handle about 100 Virtual domains here, and we thought for the exercise it will be fun to watch. All of the systems coped ok, except the one that we just set up with the latest beta. We ran into FS corruption with the reiserfs, withing the /var/spool/postfix/defer/ heirarchy. rebooted to rescue disk, and checked the FS with reiserfsck, and it proved to be hosed. anyway I don't know what actually caused it, it is just a reminder to all that the reiserfs stuff is still beta, and the warnings of such should be noted within the Install for the upcoming mdk. Other than that, the system appears to handle everything quite good. -- +++ Allen Bolderoff [EMAIL PROTECTED] LNC - Linux, help and commentary http://linux.netnerve.com CTPC - Caffeine - get it here: http://www.coffee-tea-pots-cups.com/ +++ GPG fingerprint = CBB0 8626 702C 3D01 B5AD A54A DC2C 93B7 3E4B 6472 +++

[Cooker] reiserfs-utils versions conflict
Hi, when using mkreiserfs from reiserfs-utils-3.5.19-1mdk it prints `ReiserFS version 3.5.18'. I guess someone included an old mkreiserfs in the 3.5.19-mdk-package.

Your filesystems can be totally reiserfs - and with the bundled new LILO you don't even need to have /boot under the 1024th cylinder. Last time I've heard DrakX will only configure LILO if your kernel is on a reiserfs partition though - no GRUB.

Re: [Cooker] reiserfs
I've been playing around with an idea about using reiserfs on a Cache appliance. Seeing how reiserfs is so much faster with lots of small files I though it would make a great filesystem for use with Squid. I would be interesting to use the same machine with ext2 vs reiser on a squid bakeoff. Before I spend time testing my theory has anyone else already done this? Want to display the results? BSD systems always kick linux but in the backoff's using squid. I think part of the reason is because of the filesystem.

Thanks I'm not a filesystem guru so forgive me if i get some of the terminoligy incorrect, feel free to correct me/whatever.. reiserfs and ext2 seem about the same speed for large files, but according to the reiserfs home page there are a few small file improvements: - the inodes are nonexistent or done differently so you aren't limited in the number of small files you have on a disk (for example on a large news spool disk, with ext2 we have to create the filesystem with tons of inodes, which cuts into usable filesystem space and it still took a couple tries to get it right ;) - recovery time is _way_ better than ext2 in the event of a system crash. For example, the 11g /usr on this machine took at least 5 mins to fsck when it was about half full. The reiserfs /usr is about the same amount full now and takes 8-12 seconds to replay the log file. This is extremely useful on large-scale production servers, for example a mail or news server, where several gigabytes of data can be stored on a single filesystem and if there is a system crash the system will be back up in about a minute instead of having a half-hour or so of downtime. One thing I did see on the reiserfs web site (http://www.devlinux.com/projects/reiserfs) was a conflict with kernel RAID and reiserfs. I havn't noticed any problems with append/RAID0 modes, however...RAID5+reiserfs kills the raidsyncd process so the array never refreshes (hey i was bored what else is there to do;) Otherwise i've been using reiserfs for about 8 days have seen only 1 system problem that could possibly be related to reiserfs itself, besides the RAID5 issue. Just 10 minutes ago, after doing mkreiserfs, mounting, sync, umount, then mount and df, then tried to umount. The umount process hung, so i tried sync and that hung also (other filesystems were still responding and working properly, just the new one seemed to be "lost") Had to shutdown/restart to get the partition back and kill the hung "umount" and "sync" processesafter restarting after a dirty shutdown nothing was missing. -dwild

OK, I set up some processes to fork makes under several users, and chose local (/home/username) makes of a software package (nmap), all starting based on the existence of a trigger file in / and waiting a random number of seconds between 0 and 20 before beginning the make loop. And then I waited a random number of seconds between 40 and 120 before pressing the reset switch. I did this 100 times I timed the recovery (What an interesting way to spend an uneventful night, right up there with watching trees grow.) Average recovery time from filesystem message to "PASSED" 8.7 seconds extreme range 3.3 to 11.7 seconds number of corrupted files: ZERO number of requests for manual fixes: ZERO I think it might take a better strategy than mine to break it by a random reset.
