Environment

Redline 3.x SLES 10.x

Situation

Should I Install Redline on ReiserFS or EXT3 Filesystem on Linux?

Resolution

Our testing has shown, specifically in large environments, that the EXT3 filesystem on Linux is much more effiencient and much faster than the ReiserFS filesystem.  GWAVA recommends using EXT3 when installing Redline on a Linux operating system.
