I've heard that XFS is a good file system, thanks. I'm a reiserfs fan, but then, I'm not an expert.

Re: Reiser4 patches.
The fact it isn't part of the kernel also indicates to me it is nowhere near ready for prime use. Thats a really big can of worms to pry open. My mailbox doesnt need the flaming! If you want a journalling fs that doesnt hog your cpu and is still slow as a dog (so not ext3), try XFS or even JFS. From what i have read JFS may not be in the kernel much longer. Dont know, worth someone filling me in. Im running XFS on several machines with excellent results. Less disk activity, less cpu over heads and better all around performance. Installs with the debian installer (although the deb installer still insists on LILO, even though grub works fine. but grub annoys me anyway) Give it a whirl Dean -- http://fragfest.com.au -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Brian Oborn By-the-way, I noticed quite a difference of performance with Reiser4. Chris W. Opps, sorry for the noise here. I've tried lilo (v-22.8) and I haven't been able to make it boot to Reiser4, although I know it's supposed to. I haven't patched it though, just used the repos.

Personally I prefer my data intact. I had enough bad experience with reiserfs3 that version 4 has no interest what so ever.
