Just wondering, Is reisferfs still that much faster than ext4? Were there any speed improvements made towards the journaling in ext4 (if you know off hand)? -Russ Kay   From: UM Linux User's Group [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David Finkel Sent: Wednesday, October 11, 2006 11:34 AM To: UM-LINUX@LISTSERV.UMD.EDU Subject: Re: [UM-LINUX] for anyone who missed it on slashdot this morning.....   Reiserfs is several times faster than ext3, since the journaling is transaction based rather than copy based. In other words, reiserfs stores what it will do, ext3 stores a copy of what it will do in the journal, and then carries it out.  I personally use reiserfs3 for my root partitions, and backup drive. -Dave Rob Sherwood wrote: On Wed, Oct 11, 2006 at 10:03:06AM -0400, Bernie Hackett wrote:   >From the San Francisco Chronicle: "Hans Reiser, 42, was taken into custody at 11 a.m., hours after Oakland police and FBI technicians searched his home in the Oakland hills.

Police made the arrest based on circumstantial evidence and have not found Nina Reiser's body, [Hans Reiser's attorney] Du Bois said. 'I have no idea what the circumstantial evidence is,' he said. 'When I hear what the evidence is against him, I'll make a decision as to whether he'll talk to them.'" To anyone who doesn't know Hans Reiser is the creator and lead developer of ReiserFS, a filesystem that I'm sure a lot of people on this list use.     Not to sound insensitive to the man's plight, but do people still use ReiserFS?  How does it compare to ext3? - Rob.
