How about *heavy* production use? http://ftp.sourceforge.net/ has 850GB storage, half of which is reiserfs, half is ext2. Both filesystems have been running flawlessly for > 4 months of production (actually longer, but wasn't reiserfs before). That server pushes between 15Mbit and 50Mbit/sec, and pulls/syncs about 2-5Mbit/sec, 24x7. reiserfs also powers the CVS tree filesystem for cvs-mirror.mozilla.org (also tokyojoe.sourceforge.net), which is the one and only anonymous CVS checkout point for mozilla. That server has run flawlessly under very heavy load since its birth. I don't get involved in kernel politics, but as a production filesystem, reiserfs is ok in my book. -drew -- ------- Drew Streib <d@valinux.com> 408.542.5725 Technical Marketing Manager, VA Linux Systems | <dtype@valinux.com> Sr Developer, Community Liason, SourceForge | <dtype@sourceforge.net> System Administrator, Linux International | <dtype@li.org> Admirer, Occasional Programmer, Linux.com | <dtype@linux.com> - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
