Re: Reiser4 is great + howto

Would anyone mind rewriting the Wiki page about Reiser4 to include my information and possibly the script as well? (If anyone thinks it's worthwhile of course).

Re: Reiser4 is great + howto

Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm assuming that I don't need to patch grub if my /boot partition isn't going to be reiser4.

I didn't patch grub when I switched over the reiser4, just the kernel and gnome-vfs (search for other thread). My /boot sits on a ext2 filesystem so there were no problems.

Re: Reiser4 is great + howto

Reiser4 isn't all that great, you'd get better overall performance and *STABILITY* with ext3 with dir_index and journal_data turned on.  This is not a default ext3 option, you have to set it yourself.

Yay!  Another Ext3 fanboy!

Re: Reiser4 is great + howto

Well, well, isn't it the great promoter and advocate of ext3 himself - whose lil' handy tips (and fallow's patchsets) on gentoo boards inclined me to move back to the roots from reiserfs/4 world ;-) Nice to see you around, codergeek, welcome to the world of Arch :-)
