If you are still using it, please migrate to another + filesystem or tell us your usecase for reiserfs. + + Reiserfs stores not just filenames but the files themselves in a + balanced tree. Uses journalling. + + Balanced trees are more efficient than traditional file system + architectural foundations. + + In general, ReiserFS is as fast as ext2, but is very efficient with + large directories and small files. Additional patches are needed + for NFS and quotas, please see + <https://reiser4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Main_Page> for links. + + It is more easily extended to have features currently found in + database and keyword search systems than block allocation based file + systems are. The next version will be so extended, and will support + plugins consistent with our motto ``It takes more than a license to + make source code open.'' + + Read <https://reiser4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Main_Page> + to learn more about reiserfs. + + Sponsored by Threshold Networks, Emusic.com, and Bigstorage.com. + + If you like it, you can pay us to add new features to it that you + need, buy a support contract, or pay us to port it to another OS. + +config REISERFS_CHECK + bool "Enable reiserfs debug mode" + depends on REISERFS_FS + help + If you set this to Y, then ReiserFS will perform every check it can + possibly imagine of its internal consistency throughout its + operation. It will also go substantially slower. More than once we + have forgotten that this was on, and then gone despondent over the + latest benchmarks.:-) Use of this option allows our team to go all + out in checking for consistency when debugging without fear of its + effect on end users.
