Someone might want to update the information on reiser4 at:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_systems
and
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reiser4

A fair bit of information is missing/out of date it seems.

yeah, i noticed this too some time ago. so, what's the

- Maximum filename length
- Allowable characters in directory entries (e.g. "Any byte except NUL"?)
- Maximum volume size (16TiB on ReiserFS v3)
- Maximum pathname length (currently "No limit defined" <-- is this true?)

for Reiser4?

thanks,
Christian.

in the thread "REISERFS_MAX_NAME and ENAMETOOLONG" it is stated, that max.
filename length is not a kernel limit but a libc limit of 255 chars.
right? an in the same thread PATH_MAX is named to be the limit for "max
pathname lenght", which is currently 4096 bytes.

i just wonder why almost all other fs are listed with "255 bytes" for max
filename lenght and "No limit defined" for max. pathname lenght...

i shall update the wikipedia entry if no objections are filed...

This table is interesting but have really no sense the "no inclusion" of 
a minimal comparision about performance.

Thanks,

double negation...if i understand you correctly, you want a benchmark
comparison of the compared filesystems? uh, you know how hard it is to
compare these things The Right Way and i think that's beyon the scope of
the article. the results would be edited back-and-forth, because everone
has probably different results at hand and the "discussion" tab would be
set on fire from the ongoing flamewars....
