But you will wait indefinately if you try to reboot, at least you will if
you compile reiser in 2.4.17. I have a friend who went through hell w/
reiser. She tried xfs and never looked back. I think that reiser is just
too buggy to use, so many strange errors, I also think she had data loss.
This makes ext2 look great in comparison, at least it's stable when
treated nicely. Also, my friend pulled the plug w/ a big copy of xfs
files. No troubles w/ xfs, no corruption or anything.
I have seen rh and debian xfs install disks. I'm sure suse has it as it
has everything (from what I heard) plus kitchen sink. :)
