Last modified: 6 Sep 2007, 18:58:11 UTC Nope - 8TB is all the ext3 version we have (and all others I know about) can handle at maximum block size. Not a big deal - 8TB is fine. And I'm not sure I can bring myself to use ReiserFS given the author's current criminal status (guilty or otherwise). I don't know if it's good to judge the software by it's author... Kinda moot though, considering he initially stated that he's not willing to use other file systems - probably due to the almost religious division of users behind each of the multitude of variations. It's almost as bad as all the different variations of the Christian religion! Matt would end up having a debate right here (and not necessarily with him involved) over which FS to use and no end in sight. ID: 634837 ·

Just using it as an excuse so I don't have to upgrade/learn yet another thing when my brain (and tasklist) is already full. - Matt -- BOINC/SETI@home network/web/science/development person -- "Any idiot can have a good idea.

Just using it as an excuse so I don't have to upgrade/learn yet another thing when my brain (and tasklist) is already full. I can sympathise for the 'oh no, yet more to learn'... However... for example for when you have lots of files in a directory, ReiserFS still offers very good performance compared to other filesystems... The rebalancing the B* trees and the flexible allocation of inodes are rather good also... ;-) Regards, Martin See new freedom: Mageia Linux Take a look for yourself: Linux Format The Future is what We all make IT (GPLv3) ID: 634870 ·

As with your post, I just wanted to show that upload/download speeds aren't an issue on this end at all. Other than the last few days of PEBOAK issues, I almost always have work. :) ID: 638634 ·
