You may be very right Daniel. I'm speaking form my very limited Redhat
perspective, where I think ext3 showed up long before they included
reiserfs. I'm pretty much a dummy distro user and don't have much history
outside of what RH provides as I use it in my testing of the chips we
develop.

Anecdotally I'm told that more machines run ext3 than reiserfs, but I
certainly don't know that to be true, and I have nothing against reiserfs,
since after all I'm using it on my audio drive.

My thought is that for a 2-disk audio workstation ext3 or reiserfs is
probably fine for the system drive, and I like reiserfs (or even XFS one
day...) better for my audio drive. For a single drive DAW it's a much more
personal decision I'm sure.

Cheers,
Mark
