Re: RaiserFS PPC status
That would make sense, since they do all the Linux XFS developemnt
on ia32 and ia64 boxes! At least they did when I worked in that
group. But XFS is a very mature piece of code in general compared
to ReiserFS, which is much newer piece of code. Maybe one day I'll
have a chance to do a performance analysis between the two. They
have different internal designs.
ReiserFS for 2.2 works just fine on big endian processors. Last
time I went to all the trouble to set it up on my sparc box, I had
to track down a patch for big-endian machines (the 2.2
implementation is one big patch, really kinda anyway), but it wasn't
a big deal and it has worked quite well since. Perhaps they rev'd
the release since then and the patch isn't necessary, I don't know
off hand. People keep asking ... I suppose I should check one of
these days.
