I have not had data loss with reiserfs, but I have had problems serving a reiserfs over NFS. If I did a lot of activity on the NFS-mounted filesystem, (i.e., mozilla cache, compiling software), eventually inodes would disapper. I would get messages like kernel: vs-13048: reiserfs_iget: bad_inode. Stat data of (69038 69612) not found The only solution was to reboot the nfs server and do a reiserfsck. This was with 2.4.4, and all of the appropriate patches applied from namesys. Like I said, I never lost data; the reiserfsck would recover the lost inodes. But, after reiserfs "lost" my home directory inode once, I decided to try xfs instead, and haven't had any problems with it. BTW, all of these systems were on my home network. I don't think that I would recommend any journaled filesystem for critical production use just yet, but I think that all three (xfs, reiserfs, and jfs) are getting very close. -- Dave Carrigan ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) | Yow!
