On a slightly different topic though: I heard speculation the grapevine that development on reiserfs might slow or stop as a result of the arrest of Hans Reiser being charged with his wife's murder... I'd be interested on hearing your guys' thoughts on alternative filesystem formats (like JFS for an example).

For example: here's the crux of the backup scheme I use on the lab servers: > > rsync -a --delete --delete-excluded --delete-after --rsh="ssh -l `hostname`" --exclude="/sys/*" --exclude="/proc/*" --exclude="/mnt/*/*" --rsync-path="sudo /usr/bin/rsync" --link-dest=../backup.1 / destination:./backup.0/ > I had a script that did this on a reiserfs / linux RAID5 system, and it would get wedged if there were more than a couple hundred hardlinks to the same file. Never was able to track it down more closely than that. This was with one of the early 2.4 kernels.
