"...related".... - certainly.
"...fixes...." - maybe.
Perhaps vs 'vanilla' exe2/exe3 ... but unless Reiserfs has made
*dramatic* progress recently, it brings a few of its own - i.e sometimes
looks better on paper than it does under load or after a power outage.
Most of the *N*X'es can mount any of many file systems, several of which
are a good fit for this sort of need *and* historically more reliable -
or at least have a longer and/or better-known behaviour pattern than
Resierfs.
But I still think that fs research and discussion is best pursued OT to
Exim, per se, as fs choice is just too big a field in its own right -
not to mention the interaction of various RAID or NFS mount choices.
- As this is already a high-traffic list on Exim alone, I would hope we
can preserve that focus......
YOMD, and I am not a 'moderator' in any case...
