I have used RieserFS and have been very happy with it for the most part. There are some limitations with it, however, you cannot resize a partion (at least not easily), and Quotas dont always work for me. Also, because not every kernel knows about RieserFS without loading modules, its a Good Idea to leave your / and /boot on ext2, though not total necessary. I have a box with 100% RieserFS on it. Its had a few powerdrops too, and it boots in about the same time as it would if it were cleanly unmounted.

We had a bad power outage last night. Someone ran into a phone pole or something... Surged on and off for a while before we got all the machines off. A bunch of our machines have some major problems now. I am wondering if there is a better filesystem then ext2 for this kind of thing? IIRC RieserFS and Ext3 wouldn't have a problem with sudden and complete losses of power because of the way they right to the HD. Actually any Journaling FS should be like this. I'm not sure but that's what I heard. Is this correct? If so I think I'll switch over reeeeaaaaal soon. I've been having a lot of power problems lately and no UPS's (don't bother me with crap like "you should always have a UPS" and "What the hell are you thinking". No UPS. Get over it. You'll be happy to know I do have power cleaners). Is there a filesystem that is built to handle this sort of thing. If not there should be. sim _______________________________________________ tclug-list mailing list tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
