Hmmm, what happens on all of youre systems?

I'm using of course reiserfs, since about 2 years and had no problems at
all.
the speed incresing is amazing, it feels sometimes like the 10 times
faster, and in realty it goes up to 12 times faster, depends on the
filesize...

my testing system (have a backup of course), i did start, make a suspend
to disk, don't wake up afterwards, so i need to reset it. So did this
about 100 times....no problems with reiser at all!!

you even can use partimage to save and restore reiser filesystems.

anyway, it will the best coice of every system, even of serves to choose
reiserfs.
