I use reiserfs

:shock:

Is it still being developed/maintained? I would worry about it on the new 3.x kernels.

Maybe openSUSE takes some care for reiserfs?
For reiser4 there is a patch for linux-3.6 , but the russian maintainer warned there is an old bug he couldn't solve. If you look at phoronix tests you see btrfs is better for most cases. And it is the same btree algo reiser4 has, and the same developer.

I will use reiserfs till it is dead

My experience on 2 identical machines (dual-core, one has 4 gigs of ram and the other has 8, one uses ext4 and the other (main) uses resierfs) compiling is much faster, building siduction/aptosid is faster, the one that is really faster is building android (22 gigs). Moving files (mythtv movies etc) is also faster.

Not the best *benchmarks to test, I admit, but for me, reiserfs is faster in the way I compute and use my machine (no ssd here)

*maybe when I build my new system (8 cores, 16 gig of ram) I *might go with ext4, OTOH maybe not
