similar to: Samba on ReiserFS

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.

I am unable to boot Dom0 on a machine with Reiser file systems. Reiser support is built into the xen0 kernel. I have similar setup with ext3 file systems working just fine, so I don''t think it is a setup problem. I have tried booting with and without and initrd file, booting with the original Linux distro initrd file, etc, but nothing seems to work. I recall seeing a thread about ReiserFS

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

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, I tried to compile the 2.6.9-22.EL kernel with reiserfs enabled. make fails as follows. anyone managed to compile with reiserfs successfully?

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

RedHat has stripped out support for ReiserFS in their enterprise Linux products. It appears the unsupported CentOS kernel supports ReiserFS. Doesn't anaconda and the kickstart boot kernel also need to be enhanced to support ReiserFS as well? thanks for any help.

hi smbusers, would like to ask some questions about posix acls and reiserfs.help and info is much appreciated.(to make it clear i am running mandriva 2007 free edition with samba 3.0.23d installed.) 1. is acl supported now on reiserfs filesystems by default? 2. do i have to recompile the kernel and apply the acl patch? (i currently have the 2.6.17 kernel) 3.which is best for samba?xfs?ext3? or

I am trying to compile 2.2.20 with both ext3 and reiserfs (to easily migrate from reiserfs to ext3 :-) All patches merge nicly, but compile fails because "buffer_journaled" is defined by both reiserfs and ext3. I looked at the "2.2.14 ext3 + reiserfs incompatibility"-thread on the kernel list and figured out that renaming "buffer_journaled" in fs/buffer.c and

XFS is the best filesystem.

Package: xen-utils-3.2-1 Version: 3.2.1-2 Severity: normal Tags: patch Hi, There is a bug xen-3-3.2.1/tools/libfsimage/reiserfs/fsys_reiserfs.c, it is using "unsigned long" which is 64 bits on amd64 arch and 32 bits on i386 arch. This makes pygrub can't work on reiserfs on amd64 arch. You can easily reproduce it. A patch is included for fixing this problem. diff

Hi we had one of our mail servers , going on kernel panic mode ( not syncing fatal exception) ... cause /var/queue/postfix was on reiserfs part .. it has not been giving us any isssue quite some time , but yesterday and today it went on Kernel panic mode , when we hashed out the reiserfs part it booted properly .. we formated the part^ on ext3 later and things working fine now . Could any one

I made some tests to see how ext3 reiserfs 3.6 and jfs survive disk errors. The test is simple: format a partition, copy the kernel source, unmount and and do ?dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hdd bs=512 count=100000 seek=30000? to simulate a disk surface damage and then run fsck. seek=30000 ? this must be the second half of journal in reiserfs and ext3, for jfs I don't know Result: jfs: ---- total

Now that I've been enlightened to the terrible write performance of ext3 on my new 3Ware RAID 5 array, I'm stuck choosing an alternative filesystem. I benchmarked XFS, JFS, ReiserFS and ext3 and they came back in that order from best to worst performer. I'm leaning towards XFS because of performance and because centosplus makes kernel modules available for the stock kernel.

Hi, I recompiled my kernel today, and when the btrfs-0.13 option is enabled (CONFIG_BTR_FS=y) I cannot boot on my reiserfs-3.6 partition any more. The kernel says that is cannot mount /dev/sdc6. I can boot the kernel when I recompile it with the same options and CONFIG_BTR_FS=n, and with the same boot options as well. Everything is amd64 on my system (kernel + programs). Here is a screenshot of

I really hope someone has a clue on this one.... :) I've got a 2.2TB array mounted on a 3ware 9500 controller. I installed it last week ensuring that LBA was enabled and using gpt with parted to get the full size available on one array. I also think I chose reiserfs for the array. We then moved ALOT of data to the array. Problem now is that after a reboot LBA doesn't seem to be in
