| The ReiserFS filesystem | page 20 of 23 |
ReiserFS is a relatively new filesystem that has been designed with the goal of
providing very good small file performance, very good general performance and
being very scalable. ReiserFS uses a metadata journal to avoid long fscks, but
the journal implementation allows recently-modified data to become corrupted in
the event of a system lockup. In general, ReiserFS offers very good
performance, but may exhibit certain performance quirks under specific kinds of
filesystem loads. In addition, ReiserFS's fsck tool is in its infancy so you
may have difficulty recovering data from a corrupted filesystem. A number of
these issues are due to the fact that ReiserFS is a relatively new, still
evolving filesystem. ReiserFS is preferred by many for its speed and
scalability.
