A word of warning. There was a post by Andrew Morton a while back that said not
to use Reiser with 2.6. It's fine with 2.4 (what I use in fact). It may be
fixed with 2.6 but I haven't heard anything new. I use XFS on all of my 2.6
systems (FC3) and it is indeed *much* faster than ext3.

I've heard good things about reiser4, it's supposed to be faster
than anything out there right now. I don't know anything about
it's stability, though. Is anyone using reiser4? I'm using
reiserFS for my main system partitions right now, and I haven't
had any problems with it.
I'm going to be doing a fresh install of FC2
in the near future and
am considering using an XFS data partition for music and video files.
It seems that XFS isn't an install time option (according to Disk
Druid). How is an XFS partition added? Does anyone here have any
experiences or pointers to share WRT XFS or XFS and FC2?
I experiments with JFS and XFS some time ago, and thier performance for
media files (or a relativly slow disk) wasn't that good compared to ext3.
Things may have changed of course.
