Please elaborate. I've used reiserfs on a newsspool for 5 (!) years now, without any problems, even though at that time reiserfs was still quite experimental; a newsspool doesn't really contain important data and will benefit from reiserfs. However, it just worked fine. In the last 6 months I've used reiserfs for my laptop (40GB fs), and a video editing pc (2 x 120GB, one of which I use to backup my work pc on via rsync). Zero problems. SuSE by default installs reiserfs; I don't think SuSE would stake their hard-earned reputation on a shaky filesystem. So, if you want to make a point, please back it up with facts, instead of spreading FUD. Paul Slootman
