Could you elaborate on this, please? I have yet to hear a well-documented reiserfs "horror story" that is related to the filesystem itself, instead of an underlying hardware or user stupidity problem. For anecdotes to the contrary, my experience with reiserfs has been entirely positive. When I switched from ext3 to reiser on my Gentoo box, compiles went noticeably faster. When I switched from ext3 to reiser on CAEDM's linux boxes, installs went noticeably faster. I have yet to encounter a data corruption issue, even when I've kicked the power cord out of my UPS while emerging something. -- Soren Harward <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "It's not so much verbing that weirds language, as much as it is the renounification." -- Marc LeBlanc
