35.5 as I'm testing it here on my workstation and it seems to be faster when you test some things involving many copies of large multi-level sourcetree directories each 3 to 6GiB big in size. 2.6.18-rc2-mm1 with Reiser4 looks ok so far and I had no sync() OOPS like the last time with one -mm revision.
speed tells us nothing about reliability of course, but compared to ext3 with dir_index,sparse_super Reiser4 seems to handle "du -sh" and "rm -r" much faster and without eating all of the CPU cycles as it finishes quicker although Reiser4 was meant to be CPU-heavy compared to ext*/reiserfs3. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
