I am curious about the pros and cons of the various file systems. I have always used ext3. Is there any particular reason to use reiserfs ? What benefits do you get ?
Take a look at Reiser's page. It looks like reiserfs was made for benchmarking.
Some people says it's faster, some people say it's safer. I use it as default in my own distribution (debian-based), and has not a single problem with it, even when electricity suddenly comes down. (This cannot be said for ext3, as a energy interruption screwed my redhat9 ext3 raid0 server).
Besides, I'm not aware of a resizing tool for reiser. It has its own problems and may not be good for everyone.
Well, If it was that good, it would be part of fedora's default install, don't you think?
