journalling FS (ReiserFS)

[mmorin at schedsys.com (Massimo Morin)]

Hi,
	I installed ReiserFs (3.5.16) and ext2 on a 80Gb raid systems (compaq
proliant 3000).
The RFS was exported under NFS; the ext2 was the /

It worked for almost a week and afterward it crashed miserably!
The data were unreadable.... (2 weaks of work pretty much lost... don't
ask about the backup :( )
I thought the problem was RFS, so we walked away from it.

I'm still having problem with that machine and I think it is the raid
firmware that is currupted in some way... so still now I do not know if
RFS was to blame, anyway I don't think I'll reinstall RFS anytime soon.

My opinion? In Italy we say, after you have been burned by the hot
water, even the cold one scares you...

Cheers

Max
