It still is ext2 somehow, because you can mount ext3 filesystems as ext2 as well. But you can reconvert, I think. > Which one in theory (assuming no bugs which seems to be the cause > for the freeze) should be better for low-latency work? This seems to change as ext3 evolves. There was a time when it was faster, currently it seems worse than reiserfs. But I have a lot of trust in ext3 and I hate having to wait for minutes on e2fsck clean up after a crash, so I will keep running ext3 instead of reiser or ext2. I didn't benchmark it, but maybe you can find some on the net. ciao -- Frank Barknecht _ ______footils.org__
