OpenSUSE moving away from reiserfs with 10.2OpenSUSE moving away from reiserfs with 10.2Posted Oct 5, 2006 15:57 UTC (Thu) by fozzy (subscriber, #7022)Parent article: OpenSUSE moving away from reiserfs with 10.2
"my long term goal is to use OCFS2"
I'm curious, could someone explain the benefits people expect to get from running and OCFS2 root filesystem? Is it just for "big iron" users, or does this have the potential to bring some benefits to a home user's system(s)?
Thanks

OpenSUSE moving away from reiserfs with 10.2 Posted Oct 6, 2006 2:04 UTC (Fri) by fozzy (subscriber, #7022) [Link] I've read the last paragraph (again).
My reading of it is:
Jeff is speaking (semi) officially on behalf of OpenSUSE and he's suggesting that in the long term OCFS2 will be their default root filesystem. He acknowledges that this maybe sometime off and that ext3/4 will be the default for the foreseeable future. But, it suggests that in the long term, OpenSUSE will default to OCFS2. When that happens what will it offer non-big-iron users?
Maybe I am mis-reading Jeff's message, but to me it suggests that eventually all OpenSUSE default installs will have an OCFS2 root file system.

It affects the package selection, but I don't see why it could not affect also the default file system type...
