[It is slow at fsync + intensive workloads as it is not yet optimized for fsync + (sponsors are welcome for that work), and it is instead + optimized for atomicity, see below.] Benchmarks that define + "a lot" are at http://www.namesys.com/benchmarks.html. + + It is the storage layer of what will become a general purpose naming + system --- like what Microsoft wants WinFS to be except designed with a + clean new semantic layer rather than being SQL based like WinFS. + For details read http://www.namesys.com/whitepaper.html + + It performs all filesystem operations as atomic transactions, which + means that it either performs a write, or it does not, and in the + event of a crash it does not partially perform it or corrupt it. + Many applications that currently use fsync don't need to if they use + reiser4, and that means a lot for performance. An API for performing + multiple file system operations as one high performance atomic write + is almost finished. + + It stores files in dancing trees, which are like balanced trees but + faster. It packs small files together so that they share blocks + without wasting space. This means you can use it to store really + small files. It also means that it saves you disk space. It avoids + hassling you with anachronisms like having a maximum number of + inodes, and wasting space if you use less than that number. + + It can handle really large directories, because its search + algorithms are logarithmic with size not linear. With Reiser4 you + should use subdirectories because they help YOU, not because they + help your filesystem's performance, or because your filesystem won't + be able to shrink a directory once you have let it grow. For squid + and similar applications, everything in one directory should perform + better. + + It has a plugin-based infrastructure, which means that you can easily + invent new kinds of files, and so can other people, so it will evolve + rapidly. + + We will be adding a variety of security features to it that DARPA has + funded us to write. + + "reiser4" is a distinct filesystem mount type from "reiserfs" (V3), + which means that "reiserfs" filesystems will be unaffected by any + reiser4 bugs. + + ReiserFS V3 is the stablest Linux filesystem, and V4 is the fastest. + + In regards to claims by ext2 that they are the de facto + standard Linux filesystem, the most polite thing to say is that + many persons disagree, and it is interesting that those persons + seem to include the distros that are growing in market share. + See http://www.namesys.com/benchmarks.html for why many disagree. + + If you'd like to upgrade from reiserfs to reiser4, use tar to a + temporary disk, maybe using NFS/ssh/SFS to get to that disk, or ask + your favorite distro to sponsor writing a conversion program. + + Sponsored by the Defensed Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) + of the United States Government.
