Hello, in the last weeks I evaluated ext3 on the IBM Mainframe S/390 and IBM zSeries. (32 bit, big endian, 64 bit big endian) Ext3 had to face high stress tests, low memory situations, spontaneous resets as well as hardware failure simulations. I tested file system integrity,log replay and stability with ordered and journal mode. All with 32 and 64 bit. I think ext3 has reached a very stable state on these architecture with version 0.95 plus bigendian fix. (=0.96) I have not evaluated the performance of ext3 in comparison to other file systems, so it is just a statement about stability and reliability. Thanks for your help -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best Regards Christian Bornträger IBM Deutschland Entwicklung GmbH eServer SW System Evaluation + Test email: CBORNTRA@de.ibm.com Tel +49 7031-16-3507
