Hans, Chris and I have *already been doing this*. That's one of the
reasons I can't understand your attitude. We have a pretty good idea
now of the underlying VM interactions which a journaling filesystem
introduces, thanks to the fact that the core developers involved have
an extremely good working relationship.
At issue is the timetable for integrating such significant VM interactions
into the main kernel. The 2.4 is in codefreeze. There's no preferring
ext3 over reiserfs involved: this is a significant new VM effect we're
talking about, whichever filesystem is to use it (and hopefully all
concerned filesystems can use the same hooks, as we've talked with some
of the XFS people too about this.)
Cheers,
Stephen
