Don't use RedHat with ReiserFS, they screw things up so many
ways.....
For instance, they compile it with the wrong options set, their
boot scripts are wrong, they just shovel software onto the CD.
Use SuSE, and trust me, ReiserFS will boot faster than ext2.
Actually, I am curious as to exactly how they manage to make
ReiserFS boot longer than ext2. Do they run fsck or what?
FWIW, Debian although it doesn't support reiserfs "out of the box" at
present, works flawlessly for a large number of people I know. I also
hear Mandrake 7.2 and 8.0 work pretty nice if you want a pointy-clicky
experience :)
Since so many people seem to run RedHat, perhaps it's worth someone
determining exactly what is busted with their init scripts or whatever
that makes reiserfs barf more often that with other distributions.
