hi crew...
i have just been looking at the benchmarking stats for reiser4 and it looks
pretty cool. i was wondering if there is there is any reason to implement
this kind of file system in multimedia environments. i current have my
root/system partition as reiserFS and my home partition as ext3. i find this
to be quite efficient but perhaps if there would be an improvement to
recording stability and speed, then perhaps it could work well with apps
like ardour. although, reiser seems to be happiest with small files, reiser4
claims to be more efficient than ext3.... or that could be just spin.
These days the choice of filesystem should make no significant
difference.
I switched from ReiserFS to EXT3 quite awhile ago, and can't say that
one is any faster than the other. A friend of mine switched from EXT2 to
EXT3 on his server and reported a very large speed improvement, but he
doesn't do audio work.
