Re: AS performance with reiser4 on 2.6.3

[Dr. Giovanni A. Orlando]

Dear Mark,

   I appreciate the OSDL efforts and graphs you offer for ReiserFS 4, 
but I will
   appreciate a lot more if you adopt a distro that adopt ReiserFS 
like: SuSE, Lindows or our FTOSX.

   For us ReiserFS is important for RedHat really don't.

   So, I don't want to see again the RedHat 9, name here:
      http://developer.osdl.org/markw/fs/dbt2_stp_results.html

Thanks very much,
Giovanni
