While since some people have ReiserFS partitions I understand the need for supposrting ReiserFS in upgrades a thing RedHat 7.2 and I think 7.1 provided, I fail to see why anyone would want to set a NEW ReiserFS partition. Contrarily to ext3 it does not keep data coherency, its partitions cannot be read by older kernels and it does not allow upgrade in place. Contrarily to XFS it does not support ACLs and it suffers of performance hiccups who make it unusable for streaming. It also looks like it is slower than XFS and I have noticed in some cases it is quite slow at recovering from crashes while XFS is ever blindingly fast. Contrarily to JFS it cannot be resised on the fly. So what is so special about ReiserFS?
