Hi Rob,

I had a similar problem with Reiser when I first used it on SuSE.  I had a hardware
problem that was causing crashes and the crash recovery was a real problem.

Rather than ext3, I tried JFS and loved it.  The only problem I've ever had is
that I've found  no easy way to resize JFS partitions.

BTW  IBM Developer Works did a comparison of the common filesystems a while back.
It clearly highlighted the performance differences depending upon the file mix.

Good luck,

Don A
