Re: [BackupPC-users] Re: Space Issues

[Ben <be...@uk...>]

There was a post not long ago about someone saying that BackupPC was
running _very_ slowly (I think it was regarding the linking of files)
and he was also using ext3. When switching to reiserfs, he said that all
his problems had disappeared. 

I've been using reiser pretty much ever since it was in the kernel and
can't remember ever having a problem with it. I've used XFS as well but
not for all that long, so can't really comment on that, but I'd use
reiser.... can't go wrong really - speed, without any inode issues.
