Re: production use of reiserfs

[Redeeman <redeeman@metanurb.dk>]

this is strange, i feel that the linux filesystems is much more unstable
after a power failure than windows filesystens, but in advance they are
much faster. but ofcourse, windows filesystems are made to be crash
proof.

i have run into a crash with reiserfs, it didnt work, rebuild tree fixed
it perfect though
