Posted by timothy on from the mounting-tension dept.

    ... and they still have data corruption?

    Ouch!

    I dunno how much I'll be able to trust this filesystem in the future.

    Did anyone read the article and follow the links? The benchmarks show that the speed improvement they site exists in only a very few cases. There's almost an equal number of cases where reiser4 is 2-3 times slower than reiser3.

    The real situation seems to be that R4 is marginally faster than R3 on the average. And before replying, try checking the data and see for yourself.
