inode problem?

inode problem?

[Robert L. Harris]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 957 bytes --]



  I have a system at work that seems to have an ext3 filesystem made 
with -T largefile when it really shouldn't have and is running low on 
inodes.  A co-worker has mentioned that reiserfs doesn't have inode 
problems.  I tried to look this up but am having problems 
verifying/denying this:

{0}:Documentation>host www.reiserfs.org
www.reiserfs.org does not exist, try again

Whois also doesn't return anything.  Anyone have any proof either way
and news on the current stability of reiserfs in the 2.4.21 tree?

Robert

$ host www.reiserfs.org
www.reiserfs.org has address 212.16.7.65

(you can also use namesys.com)

It exists and is stable.

So are birthday problems and hash collisions, but I haven't seen you guys address that little detail yet...

(Speaking only as somebody who lost their /usr/local tree to reiserfs.  KEEP BACKUPS, especially if you're using an experimental filesystem.)

V4 handles duplicates, and has a larger hash.

Sorry that happened to you.  Were you using a kernel older than 2.4.18?
