Hmm -- I had problems when I tested Suse and tried to copy files from 
the server over NFS it would stall and take time to recover on very 
large files (>100Meg). I never found out the cause of the problem - and 
gave up on SuSE for this reason (looked like M$ style eye candy, with 
problems under the hood to me).

This problem could have been due to reiserfs that SuSe was using?

I was in the middle of installing Debian/Libranet which defaults to 
reiserfs and stopped for a bit to ponder if I should stick with ext3 and 
read your post with some problems. I also remember reading test results 
that did not show compelling reasons to move on to reiserfs.

Has anyone else had good/bad experience with this reiserfs? If so why 
did you use it? Why was it worth the risk?
