Now, I don't want to start a religious war, but...
Ext2 has the advantages that 1) it can fall back to ext2 in recovery cases, and
2) because of that, it has all the well-tested ext2 recovery tools available.
People I know who've used Reiser say it's wonderfuly fast, but if it corrupts,
well... save your time, and go straight to restoring your backups.
Also, take a look at the tune2fs options. I understand -O dir_index will set it
to use a b-tree index for faster handling of large directories.
