Reiser4 Benchmarks
unmadindu writes "Hans Reiser has benchmarked Reiser4 against ext3 and Reiserfs 3. Reiser4 turns out to be way faster than V3, and for ext3, why don't you check out the results yourself ? Hans Reiser states, "these benchmarks mean to me that our performance is now good enough to ship V4 to users", and he will be probably sending in a patch within the next couple of weeks to be included in the 2.6/2.5 kernel."
...is mostly funny, but is too much of a company filesystem to trust completely.
After reiser4, what filesystems are actually decent competition for it? It'd be nice for OSS to claim not only the best web server (apache), best kernel, and best filesystem.

Sick of gentoo zealots throwing plugs in completely unrelated topics? Me too!
Not to mention the best software installation system ( portage ).
Like "Three Dogs Playing Poker" to the Mona Lisa.

woo-hoo! now it corrupts my data even quicker

Given that most of the people are not techies, they did not know how to ssh in and shutdown -r now, so they would just hit the reset button whenever they thought something was wrong and I wasn't around.
I've found users doing that to my servers before now. I find that hitting them on the nose with a rolled up newspaper and shouting "No! Bad monkey!" in a stern voice tends to stop this behaviour...
Code, Hardware, stuff like that.
I find putting my servers in a locked room where the users cannot get at them even more effective. Just an observation :-)
Most admins I know would rip off all the user's limbs, execute their family, and say a firm "No". Your way is a little more user friendly.
The first thing that popped into my head when I read that was "uh... feature freeze two weeks ago." I'm sure Reiser's going to have another of his babyish hissy fits. I see another slashdot story in the near future.
<Reiser> Oh, what about my sponsors! Why are you all playa hat'n on me?
<EveryoneNotOnTheReiserCheerleadingSquad> You don't get special treatment. You waited too long, and we're not putting your untested code into a frozen code base.
<Reiser> You're oppressing me! The GPLv3 will fix you all!
<SomeoneFromFSF> Please shut up, Reiser. You still don't know what the fuck you're talking about.
<Reiser> Wahh!! My sponsors!
<Everyone> SHUT UP REISER.
I'm as mimsy as the next borogove but your mome raths are completely outgrabe.
Who the fuck keeps a 20gb root partition!?! It's probably all the admin's porn.
Just raise the taxes on crack.
The simplest way I found to move to reiserfs was to change all the LABEL=??? specifications to actual device files, boot from a recovery disk, move everything around while reformatting the partitions as another filesystem, then finally rebooting.
Really? The simplest way I found to move to reiserfs was to use Suse.
Given that techs are supposed to... well, use high-tech, I sugest using a high-tech version of the newspaper. Now, what high-tech device can you read the news on? Hmmmm. How about this 21" monitor?
It's a small world and it smells funny; I'd buy another if it wasn't for the money; Take back what I paid (SoM)
Hey man, you're talking just like my boss!
C'mon folks, can't we find someone more authoritative than this guy. I mean, what would someone whose nick is "hansreiser" know about this stuff.
The drivers are crap, and the box dies about every week or so
You should call the server "Kenny"!
As in Southpark: Oh my God you killed Kenny!
From excellent karma to terible karma with a single +5 funny post...
Try that with a non-*nix.
Aw, that's a non-issue. MCSEs are so cheap that it's no problem to always keep at least one MCSE within a 200 meter radius (300 meters if the MCSE is not overweight and under 30) from the system for 99.9% uptime.
Wow, that's a neat technique. He said nothing even remotely like your first sentence, but you claimed that's what he said so you could easily "destroy" his argument. Let me try:
If you're saying that Queen Elizabeth and her band of merry men is responsible for the block size on his RAID array then you have no clue how these things work.
How's that? Please teach me, O Master.
User: Um, I rebooted the box. Er, was that, like, okay?
You: Und so... Ve haff earned ourzelfs ein timeout in "The Box", hein?
User: Aiiieieieieeeie!
You: Mua-ha-ha!

That makes the mile high club seem downright inadequate.
I'm an individual! Just like everyone else!

Is that a promise?
