Hi everyone. While not really a professional sysadmin, fortune has
dictated that I run several servers that, to the people that they are
running for, are in "production" mode. I have had really good luck to date
(that would be the past 5 years), but I am now getting pretty interested in

Well I am running Reiser commercial for more then a year now.
And I have tested it in crisis situations.
:-) I love pusing the powerbutton on a full running system with gigs of
databases.
And so far less problems then with ext2 where I got breakdowns in my file
structures.

Yeah, I noticed that too. Especially while creating an ISO with mkisofs the

well this is the only thing i liked about windows when it came to file system converting, i was able to convert the whole system without moving any files. into a new filesystem without any problems i wish i could do that here with my ext2 sysytem into rieserfs
what do you think for an average user is the file system stable enough and offer enough advantages to warrant switching file systems??

If you mean home systems by "average user", than my answer is a definite
YES, becaus
You will need to patch your kernel with the reiserFS patch against the
correct kernel source. You can get it from their home page (or search on
freshmeat).
Also, you should consider a few other patches if you are compiling your
own kernel. ide (if you're running udma66 or udma100), usb if you nee
Try converting FAT32 to NTFS !!
FAT doesn't really qualtify as a filesystem anymore.

We're running 1 machine as a server with reiserFS. Our power point has
some problems, and on occasion switching a monitor on will reboot the
machine (ok, I know we need a ups). We have had absolutely no problems,
and the machine is back up as if nothing happened in just over 1 minute.

It's not a matter of trust on my part - I trust it.
It depends on what sort of "production" your are
looking at. If I am providing a service for money,
and my clients make money with that service,

I am prepared to start switching over to reiser but I have
a question. I build my own kernels, no rpm kernels for me,
thanks. Do I need to specifically rebuild my kernel to be
able to handle reiser? I just r

This is interesting... I've been playing with Mandrake 7.2 for about 2 weeks
now, and I'm running pure ReiserFS just coz it sounded like a fun thing to
do... In fact, ext2 has been downgraded to a module in my kernel! hehehe.
ReiserFS is to be used with caution to be sure... but not only have

Is the mandrake reiser-patched kernel in some way different than the
plain vanilla kernel with patches applied? Because I can't access my
mandrake reiser partitions with a patched stock-kernel, which is due
to a different hash-function (can't seem to find the tea-hash Mandrake

hi,
There may be others more "expert" than me about this, but I have tried Reiserfs
on Mandrake 7.1. Anyway, as far as I know:
1) I don't know what "advanced file system" means, although Reiserfs is a good
guess.
2) ext3 is not ready for production use, but you can try it by patching and
rebuild

Suppose so, yes, becausse that's the only "advanced fs" that's supported by

This is a matter of how you look at it. If you have
an ext2 partition, you can make that partition
reserfs. The issue is that y
