There is reiserfs for Linux, also there is a man somewhere who implemented reiserfs reader in userspace for Windows. But if you have money http://namesys.com/support.html covers how you can get reiserfs for your favorite OS. Bye, Oleg (*) If they do not support Linux loadable kernel modules.

SuSE (and probably others?) have patched reiserfsprogs package in their distribution to chose old format by default. They have to maintain compatibility with 2.2 kernels. Bye, Oleg

I'll take a look in the morning. If you've got a writeback cache on the contoller though (battery backed), the tagged queuing might not help much though, since the controller tells the OS the write was done immediately. -chris

Therefore regardless of what file system you use it could get trashed and data could get lost. Oops conditions are generally rare on Linux machines so this shouldn't be much of an issue. BSOD on NT is quite common... -- http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/ Bonnie++ hard drive benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/postal/ Postal SMTP/POP benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/projects.html Projects I am working on http://www.coker.com.au/~russell/ My home page

Hmmm, you might want to try the download message raw feature on marc. I had line wrapping turned off on that message, and just double checked that it didn't have wrapped lines. Thanks for offering to give it a try, I'm sending you a gzip'd version of the patch in case you can't pull it from marc. -chris
