well, its not about speed here. Its about reliable home systems. If I
get all the speed, but its not reliable on a bad black (eg that I can't
mount the partition after a reboot), then it's just horrible. In a
normal company you have a RAID, and as I said, you don't care about bad
blocks here.

Again its not about performance. Its abour reliability of the File
System. That Raiser FS kicks ext3 ass (literaly) when compared to manage
a lot of small files (maildir), then I know that, because I used
raiserFS in my old companies mailserver. But at home I don't use
maildir, I use mailbox (from mozilla) and I have crappy old hardware,
therefore I need not a sofisticated file system, but one that can
withstand a bumpy country road.

perhaps cut alos the TOFU ... ;)

btw, I am not a troll, seriously not, not even close. I don't even like
red hering ...
