Hi all, Is anyone up with database features in reiserfs (reiser4) with postgresql 8.x? regards, KM
> Is anyone up with database features in reiserfs (reiser4) with postgresql 8.x? I heard that reiser4 is not yet stable. And that there is a chance that it wont be since its author is in detention. Most of the recommendations that I've seen are to use good-old-reliable EXT3 which keeps your data safe. Regards, Richard Broersma Jr.

So, IMHO, since less people will be using reiser, I would not use that in my installations. > Most of the recommendations that I've seen are to use > good-old-reliable EXT3 which keeps your data safe Also ext2 is preferred on many installations, especially when people want to avoid journals.

As I understand resier4, its features are irrelevant if your filesystem will mostly be holding postgres data.

If i was a betting man, I would guess that (currently being developed) ext4 will win the filesystem popularity contest at some point in the future, and will probably dominate enterprise linux installations. merlin
