ReiserFS seems to be stable as of 2.4.4

2001-05-06 Thread Hans Reiser
Bug reports that are hardware failures masquerading as reiserfs bugs dominate our mailing list. We also get bug reports from users with versions that are prior to 2.4.4. We are now working on making the code more likely to identify a hardware failure as a hardware failure (without killing perfor

I would encourage all of you to consider using a fractal fileset generator such as reiserfs_fract_tree.c such as we use for mongo.pl which we use for internal benchmarking. You can get a copy at www.namesys.com in the benchmarking section, and then tune it as suits your needs. I think that one n
