[Dovecot] Recommended FS for Dovecot Maildir

[Ben]

Certainly, but my completely anecdotal experience is that I've seen  
lots of people complain about bad memory causing corruption on their  
reiser partitions, while far less people complain about the same  
problem with other file systems. I'm not saying reiser is inherently  
fragile, but it's a suspicious correlation.

If reiser *wasn't* fragile, I'd expect to see more people complaining  
how bad memory corrupted their ext3/xfs/whatever partition.
