Sorry If I disagree with you, but reiser-fs cost me a full installation of
Caldera OpenLinux... I turned off the computer one day, and in the following
day I found that all the things once I had... had gone :)
So.. I... I'm not so plenty sure about reiser-fs.. That's why I use.. XFS.
Never a problem.

In all the years I did roughly a douzen of --rebuild-trees, with loss of files one time... the harddisk had a defect bearing.. and two days later, I got a new one.

My history with XFS is the same as yours with ReiserFS. I got tired of turning
my box on just to find that ALL my files were zero'ed :-/
Anyway, I like Reiserfs, XFS, JFS. They are 3 superb filesystems (can't say
that for ext3.)

There was talk some time back about early versions of reiserfs not playing nice with nfs, but that was supposed to have been fixed a long time ago.

RE: [gentoo-user] filesystem error?
Hmm, that's weird. You might run a file system check with whatever tools reiserfs has and repair if necessary. For the benefit of those who may have this problem later, I had been leaning toward Brett's suggestion and that's what I did: reiserfsck --rebuild-tree /dev/md0 This was after I used the --check and --fix-fixable options. --rebuild-tree was what finally did the trick. Just for background, this is ReiserFS on a striped software RAID array. Can others point to problems under these conditions? I'm somewhat concerned because I suffered a different failure using ReiserFS about two years ago. I'd since read that it was production-ready, but I'm a bit worried by what just happened. comments?

Glad things are back to normal. Asking about a file system is like asking about religion G. I've heard good and bad on resierfs. Personally I use XFS and have been very happy with it.

Re: [gentoo-user] filesystem error?
Reliability first, then performance is the way I look at it - no matter what the system. Although XFS has some good performance numbers. If you have spare partitions - or even just one - you can copy a partition to it, remake the fs and copy back. Sometimes we can't do what is theoretically correct. I'll end up with a system that's a file and dns server, and maybe a firewall, too. On Wed, 9 Jul 2003 10:25:46 -0700 Rex Young [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Glad things are back to normal.

I'm not convinced that your snide remark is very helpful. When you make an ext3 partition, you are told how to turn off the automated fsck; if you are too lazy to follow instructions, that's your problem, not the developer's.
