<pre wrap="">ReiserFS does seems just like the ducksnuts in terms of performance, but
it seems to have accumulated some horror stories along the way:

Marcs being runing it for 5 years, no issues - any one else using it?

I've been using it for many years. At home, no issues.
We used to have lots of severe corruption issues at work on production
servers with ext2/ext3 (and a few with xfs). We switched to reiserfs and
no more issues. Not just a few servers either.
So i'd say quoting horror stories from 2002 definitely no longer applies.
Its like quoting horror stories about kernel 2.4 (same time frame). And
about as relevant :-)

I've installed it on about 30 servers with no problems at all. I think
there was one release of the kernel in 2002 thar had a reiser bug, but
I never used that one.<br>

If you were running a few big files I'd say use ext3. But when it comes
to lots of little files like maildir you're looking at like a 10x speed
increaes.<br>
