RE: [squid-users] ext4 vs reiserfs

I think reiserFS is not a wise choice.
 
- Its user base is limited and becoming less and less
- It had corruption issues in the past (especially with postfix)
- No vendor supports it
- Its creator is in jail for killing his mail-order bride.
 
 
I will give examples from my usage when I was looking for a file system to process many files (200 million) on an SSD.
 
1,000,000 50Kb files delete operation (rm -Rf on directory):
 
NTFS: 7 minutes
ext3: 8 minutes
ext4: 12 seconds
 
I don't have squid caching, however on heavy filesystem activities I use exclusively ext4 since couple of years. Had no issues at all. It is default on many distros including RHEL6. So it is better to stick with it.
