Unfortunately it is a bit more complex, and the truth is less complementary to us than what you write. Reiser4's CPU usage has come down a lot, but it still consumes more CPU than V3. It should consume less, and Zam is currently working on making writes more CPU efficient. As soon as I get funding from somewhere and can stop worrying about money, I will do a complete code review, and

I don't think that XFS is a desktop filesystem at all. This is from XFS FAQ: qoute ------------ Q: Why do I see binary NULLS in some files after recovery when I unplugged the power? If it hurts don't do that! * NOTE: XFS 1.1 and kernels => 2.4.18 has the asynchronous delete path which means that you will see a lot less of these problems. If you still have not updated to the 1.1

Dear Listmembers, I try to work with samba (newest rpm for SuSE, 3.0.1.pre2, but that does not matter, the effect was there in 2.2.7 and 2.2.8a too) on an sufficient armed system (the system does not matter either, I have tried it on different machines) using ReiserFS (version 3.6.4-12). When accessing one share from one machine (i.e. copying two or more files at a time to or from the share)

Hi, I`ve find about BtrFS just this week, so I`ve not tested it so far. I`ll do it as soon as I got a spare disk to experiment with. But, I`ve two questions regarding BtrFS. First, do you plan inclusion of BtrFS into mainline kernel and if so, when do you expect this to happen? Second, I would like to see some more benchmarks of BtrFS, so far you provided comparison to Ext3 and XFS, which is

Hi! I was just wondering how Ext3 and Reiserfs compare. When I reinstalled my server (because of a stupid hacker) I took the opportunity to change to ReiserFS. And I have to say it's really much faster than Ext3. I don't have benchmarks, but for example, stuff like "make dep" on the linux kernel is much faster (even though I had enabled write cache when I was using ext3). So

Hi, Here'a a question - is it possible to compile a single module (distributed in the kernel source tree) for the current CentOS kernel (2.6.9-5.0.5) without recompiling the entire kernel and all other modules. I basically need reiserfs3 (nb. why is it disabled? it's a module, you use it, it doesn't wreck anything...) and I don't really want to change the rest of the kernel, and

Hi there, I installed my mandrake linux 8.1 with reiserfs. I would like to use wine without my windows partition. Now I see the following text in the wine man-page: --- format: Filesystem=<fstype> default: "win95" Used to specify the type of the file system Wine should emulate on a given directory structure/underlying file system. Supported types are "msdos" (or

We are looking at implementing a Linux box running samba in the near future with about 1TB of disk online. The purpose of this box will be for basic file and printer sharing needs. I am doing research on the different journaling file systems avaible in RH 7.3 and up (ext3, reiserFS, and JFS) and was wondering if anyone has had any real world experience with them (mostly reiserFS and JFS) and

Hi, I've heard that for Dovecot/Mailir systems there are filesystems that are optimised for the situation of many small files in one folder. Could I possibly have some feedback on what the recommended filesystems are? I've heard of ReiserFS but was wondering what other options there are and how they compare. If I get a good comprehensive response I'll build a wiki summary page

Hi! Are these results i got from my benchmarking "normal" or is there something strange happening in my system? This box is going to be a mailserver, so i tested various fs to decide on which i should utilize. I personally dislike reiserfs because it has proven somehow unreliable on our servers (although it got better in the more recent kernels), ext3 would be quite good (fsck'ing

I am currently running a Windows XP system at home with around 100+ Mb in use over ~400Mb of NTFS file systems. I am installing CentOS 4.4 on it when I change out the mobo/cpu/mem/video combo I just bought. I want to convert all the file systems to (probably) Reiserfs or maybe ext3, but I need to do them one at a time because I only have enough transfer space to accommodate the largest one, or

Hi All. What is the status of ReiserFS in CentOS at the moment? I have some servers which use it as a loadable kernel module. I am thinking about a filesystem for database systems and would like to know if ReiserFS will be maintained in CentOS/Linux kernel in the future? Best regards, Rafal.

Doing a cursory Google scan on journaled Linux filesystems, it seems that the three ground-up journaled FSes: XFS, reiser and JFS all have their separate strong points but all compare favorably. Reiser does a better job with many small files...which would seem to be the reality of maildir formatted inboxes. Any comments on that? Any war stories, that is, any comments on reliability,

I've lurked on this list for a long time, and have learned many details on installing and using Ext3. Thanks! I'm finally posting to solicit feedback on my recently-published book on "Linux Filesystems". This book discusses the use, theory, and installation/integration of journaling and distributed filesystems on Linux, and also discusses what I call 'filesystem adapters'
