RE: [PLUG] say no to reiser

SuSE is big on Reiser, no XFS support.
Gentoo supports it out of box, though, and Reiser as well.

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. :)
