Rewritten ReiserFS 4 Promises 2-5x Speed Increase

Posted by timothy on Tuesday December 30, 2003 @04:30PM from the mounting-tension dept.

An anonymous reader reports that version 4 of "ReiserFS will be released in first quarter. Complete rewrite will support Atomic writing. 2-5 times faster. File corruption will be a thing of the past. Lindows.com is paying for part of it."

"...it definately raises my impression of them..."

How low can these prices go!?
Don't compile that Linux TAR, now you're a Lindows star!

When I first read it I missed the "."s and read it as:
Complete rewrite will support Atomic writing, 2-5 times faster File corruption
Eek! Thankfully on re-reading, I saw that "Complete rewrite will support Atomic writing *and* 2-5 times faster *and* File corruption will be a thing of the past" :-)

Major Deployments using Reiser? by globalar · 2004-01-01 17:37 · Score: 2, Funny

From the article:
"We supported ReiserFS at MP3.com..." -Michael Robertson

Are there other familiar places that use(d) ReiserFS?

By the way, great tag at the bottom of the article:
