So will ext4 avoid both of these problems just like ReiserFS? Does it use a B+ tree? Or this "dancing B* tree" that Reiser4 is supposed to have?
I cannot comment on stability/performance of ext4, but here are the specs: http://www.bullopensource.org/ext4/
Also: I found that a newly created ext3 partition uses 128 MB whereas a new reiser3 partition uses only 32 MB.
are you talking about ext3 or ext4? I haven't tested ext4 yet but for ext3 it looks like this:
$ df -h /mnt/test0 /mnt/test1 Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /tmp/reiser3.img 33M 33M 944K 98% /mnt/test0 /tmp/ext3.img 15M 1.6M 13M 11% /mnt/test1 (reiser3 needs at least a 32MB image file/device)
P.S: Are there any recommended tutorials for learning filesystem basics?
Hm, I'm no filesystem guru but I suggest reading the specs and the source should help a lot...
