Hi,
I am not an expert; but from my pratical experience.
I used ext2 fs before and I saw some problems
1. My hard disk one time crashed, not for sure the
reason ; kernel says something about lost interrupt
(later I found that is bios bug in APM) but when I
recover it, my my file system there is several very
stuborn files size about 16MB , one located right
there in /var/log/dmesg so from that on dmsg can not
write to that file, only say Operations not permitted
!. Can not remove this file by any means.(Sorry only
one way is to mke2fs again the whole partition) I
have posted this problem once
So I have to reinstall the whole system
2. File system is unmounted properly ; Why the next
time if you use rescure disk to boot your system and
fsck the root partition using -f options, it still
finds errors bla bla ...
So I decided to test reiserfs file system. One
significant I saw is I gain a considerable hard disk
space about 5% or more (even I used notail options).
Performance is slightly better (start programm
somewhat faster) . Not encounter any problem so far (
I have used that for just 1 months.)
I think ext2 is still very usefull ; you can not make
floppy disk with reiserfs :-) even the 3.6.x version
do not accept a partition less than 128Mb !. AND I
still do not know about the fragmentation in reiserfs;
(no one mentions it as far as I know); in ext2 it is
quite good.
The code in the kernel is Too Big anyway..
Cheers, Steve
