Ugo, hmmmm at first i was saying to myself, well sudo said that he knew about the riserfs support in centosplus directory but that he cant do that with kickstart. Now i see what you are talking about, use kickstart and then do a yum update kernel(for riserfs) and then reboot. ah i see said the blind man to the deaf man.
Which is why I _never_ make my root (/) filesystem anything but Ext3. I can always use basically any kernel 2.2 or later Ext2 implementation to read it.
Currently, we use ext3 for all file systems except for the DATA partition(s) which is where our critical data lives. The DATA partition(s) hold about 15-20 million files.
I also tend to make my /tmp and /var filesystems Ext3, but with 2-4 as many inodes. XFS has extents and other fragmentation reducing features, but the performance of those features are inversely proportional to the number of small files.
ReiserFS' design is fluid, which means it's _dangerous_ to boot an older kernel and mount it. And while it's kernel module and journaling _is_ good IMHO, if the journal replay ever fails, the off-line recovery tools seem to be ... how can I say this ... not always as "concurrent" with development of the kernel/journal code.
