Re: [PLUG] Ext3 or ReiserFS?

[LeRoy Cressy <lcressy@telocity.com>]

Hi All,

If you already have your system as an ext2 you can remount it as an ext3
system and the journel will be built automatically.  Ext3 is great for
migrating from an already working system.  Now the reason that it is not
in the kernel tree is that there are bugs in the ext3 system and the
same can be said for the linux port of the xfs fs.

The Reiser fs is currently in the linux tree because it has become
stable.
