Do not use reiserfs if you do not want to trash your data. I had several bad experiences with reiserfs. We used it as spool storage for a really huge MTA delivering about 80 millions mails per month. So many million files were created and deleted each day. The filesystem got corrupted from time to time without having had system crashes or the like. I suggest using XFS for such things. Its really fast and on this particular MTA the spool storage is stable since we switched to XFS. Just my 2 cents. -Marc -- +-O . . . o . . . O . . . o . . . O . . . ___ . . .
