I wish I could have made it but I had a long weekend at work.  Is there 
a posting of the presentation?

Also, with all the  remarks about Reiserfs killing things, I'm wondering 
about reliability as well.  It's nice to have speed but something that 
speedily trashes you data isn't a solution.  I found a hit on the Web 
which was a copy of a SuSE administration guide which basically stated 
that Reiserfs, JFS and XFS all journaled metadata only and thus the data 
itself was at risk.  Is ext3 the only file system capable of journaling 
both?
