RE: LinuxFS for Oracle

Sorry for being unclear. ReiserFS has much, much, much faster fsck then Ext2.
With ReiserFS (a.k.a Ext3), fsck takes a second or two, not longer. With ext2
it can go on forever, especially on /oracle, /mp3 or /usr/local filesystems.

I am confused - did you choose ReiserFS because you wanted abominable fsck times, and that's what you got with ReiserFS, or because you wanted to avoid abominable fsck times, and abominable fsck times are a feature of Ext2 but not ReiserFS?
