I wouldn't say we're skeptical, just that no one wanted to run it long enough to validate it at a working FS under non-x86 architectures. JFS is the one I've not really messed with too much, so I always held a neutral point of view. RiserFS3 ate half my x86 filesystem once, but I think we all have been down that road. XFS I tried once on x86 under 2.6.1, and it liked to oops quite a bit. Plus the slow deletion time was always a nuisance. Thus, I stuck with ext3. Come to think of it, actually, I did try JFS once on mips, but I believe there was a compile bug in the driver when I did, so I just moved on. Can't recall. But, tis good to know someone have tested it so extensively. Maybe in the next documentation pass, we'll have to mark it as viable. --Kumba -- Gentoo/MIPS Team Lead "Such is oft the course of deeds that move the wheels of the world: small hands do them because they must, while the eyes of the great are elsewhere." --Elrond -- gentoo-mips@gentoo.org mailing list
