It's rock solid. Reiser is getting there and I'm sure JFS will also be nice. However, people seem to forget that BSD already has a solution to this problem. It has for decades. It's called LFS. FreeBSD has pretty much dropped support for it, however the NetBSD guys have it working again and it would be far easier to port the NetBSD LFS code than to port an FS from linux. We run linux on those large RAID fileservers because we need journaling support to save us from fsck'ing 300G. If someone wanted to port LFS I'm sure it would get a lot of use under FreeBSD. -- Brandon D. Valentine <bandix@looksharp.net> The very powerful and the very stupid have one thing in common.
