Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: LinuxFS for Oracle
Hi,
afaik, ReiserFS is not ext3. The ext3 filesystem is the next generation file system by the ext2 guys. The ext fs is the most mature filesystem by means of how long it is around, not by concept or feature that linux has to offer. ReiserFS offers you one major advantage: It's a journaling file system. Take a look at xfs, it's another journaling file system (shouldn't be used in production yet). Eventhough ReiserFS is recommended as a stable FS by SuSE, I still stick to ext2, but this is only because I haven't had the time to really test ReiserFS yet. And, yes, ReiserFS brings overhead with it, but that shouldn't really matter. If you are concerned about power-outs and wether things have been written to disk or not, why don't you go with a raw FS instead of a file system for you data files ?
