Krzysztof -- Aren't you missing the point? Twice the speed would be great,... even a 50% increase,... even a 0% increase. I checked what bonnie++ actually writes to its test files, for you. It is about 98-99% zeros. Still, the results record sequential reads, of 232,729 K/sec, nearly four times the physical disk read rate, 63,160 K/sec, of the hard drive. The sequential writes are about three times the physical disk write rate. Even if the speed increase was zero, the more efficient use of disk space means that Reiser4 is worth investigating. People use RAID arrays to achieve speed increases. The people who developed RAID clearly thought that increases in speed were worth investigating. > > > Why do you think I hate reiserfs developers?

People on a technical mailing list don't buy things just > because something on TV told them they have to. I don't work for Reiser if that is what you are suggesting. And people buy all sorts of lies because someone on TV told them it was true. Did you believe Iraq had WMD (weapons of mass destruction) because a bunch of American liars told you this on TV? Millions of Americans did. > > Answer this question.
