happy updates

[Eric S. Johansson]

as folks sugested, my reiserfs volume seems to have been corrupted. 
regenerating it for another domU works ok so far (and under almost no 
load ;-)

interesting info turned up however.  I made an exact copy of the harvee 
image (ext3) onto the tbtf Reiser FS based file system.

/dev/bigraid/root_harvee
                       4.0G  2.5G  1.4G  65% /mnt/source_root
/dev/bigraid/root_tbtf
                       4.0G  1.9G  2.2G  47% /mnt/newroot

I knew the file fragment packing of reiserfs was effective but I've 
never had such a clear demonstration of it.

more later

The result of the duopoly that currently defines "competition" is that
prices and service suck. We're the world's leader in Internet
technology - except that we're not.

This is IMHO effect of not using the "notail" option for reiserfs - it 
will try to store small files inside the directory tree. Under ext3, 
even the smallest file takes whole blocksize (4kB by default), at least 
AFAIK :-).
