    Which filesystem you are using?

    Which filesystem are you using?

    For Linux usually ext 3, but Data-Partition ntfs so I have access from Windows as well

    I clicked the ext3 for the poll, but, I wanted to click Reiser...

    Why? Well, when I first started using Linux, I was using ext3. As a month or two went by, everyone was pushing to use Reiser, so, I cleared a drive, reformatted it to Reiser, and then transferred my complete installation over to the new drive. When the OS drive was working to my liking, I then did the same thing to the second drive.

    If I was ever any more happy, it was running Reiser, until... From what I gather, the developer, and the driving force for any and all future upgrading and changes of the Reiser file system came under legal battles, and later imprisoned... It was clear that using Reiser was going to be going no where anymore, so I ditched it like I had done previously with ext3.

    I can't be sure of the "technical" side of the two file systems, but, if you ask me my "gut" feelings, I would have to say, that, I felt that Reiser was less overhead and a better file system than the ext3 technology. I think Reiser was faster, more stable, and by far, the technology best used within Linux when it came to a file system. But, that is just me...

    Thank goodness modern Linux kernels can read and write to ntfs file systems, it makes them so much more usable on multi-boot systems! For Linux only systems, ext3 seems the safest till ext4 is properly sorted out, or that zfs is imported from Solaris, which offers a lot of advantages.

    I dunno yet what I'm using, LOL!!!

    Whatever I did, I want to convert to Reiser???

    Whaddah-y'all think?

    I messed with this linux thing about a year after ubuntu came out.
    I successfully got my usb/serial CDMA modem installed and forgot about it 'till this thing called windoze 7 came out which was cracked before official release so's, so's...whadaya do???

    I surfed all day and nite yesterday with a boner (no what I mean, 4-sure!) trying to get viruses, lol.
