Doh!

at least, i left pleasantly. that's not bad for stupid. http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=50501
he was right. it was just about two weeks. i think it was the 20 instances of "console-kit-daemon" that finally drove me back.

last time i had arch installed, i tried xfs. this time, i'm going with reiserfs and hope it will be the killer file system it's reputed to be (b'dum-ching!).

Re: Doh!

<plug> Go jfs!! </plug>

I think this is the filesystem to beat. It is not very cpu intensive which is nice for older computers as well as virtualbox/vmware sessions.

Good choice.  Pacman and reiserfs seem to get along particularly well.

Ye... I used to have my arch on ext3 but then my 7 years old hdd just stopped working and When I reinstalled arch (good think I kept all my valuable info on my usb hdd, cause I couldn't save anything...)
I chose reiserfs and there was a HUUUUGE improvement in pacman's db search and etc...

Re: Doh!

Yeah I use reiserfs on my laptop, which has a 4200RPM ATA hard disk in it that was very slow on NTFS when it ran Windows.  Now I use Arch on a reiserfs partition and things are much much faster.  It was a smarter move than replacing the drive for a faster one; a faster drive would drain the battery life too much.

JFS is really efficient (especially with deadline elevator, I guess) but it has its own issues. For instance when I experience an outage or just have to use RESET button after X server crashes unexpectedly while playing Quick Time related video file (three times recently), then I have some strange problems like losing (randomly) some of my system/KDE settings Never saw this on EXT3...

Maybe there is a new turret, or some walls have moved. Or perhaps someone has temporarily removed the floor under your bed."

Bah, I suppose this means you're going to want your stapler back.
