Reiser FS is poop
Posted By matt on April 8, 2004
So, as part of my Gentoo installation, I tried ReiserFS, as opposed to my traditional ext3 (which I have used for over two years; I was one of the early adopters, back when it was a kernel patch). However, there is a slight problem.
My laptop has problems resuming. Every once in awhile, it doesn't come out of suspend mode, requiring a power off and reboot. Now, you'd think that, since the machine was basically idle for over 15 minutes, it should have flushed to disk, right? Wrong. I had some text in an emacs window that I had edited, and saved. Hours ago. After reboot and replaying of journal, the data is gone. I had to re-edit the file. I thought this was a fluke, but it just happened again. With ext3, this never happened. So, I'll be redoing my laptop and doing it as proper ext3 this time around.
