We actually tested it and got clear performance wins. We tested ext3, jfs, xfs, and reiserfs. For us reiserfs is the clear winner for ISP workloads. Its been heavily tested and works fine for us, thanks :-) Our reiserfs results interested a business partner of ours who used to swear by ext3. They also found out reiserfs was better all round for them so they are also switching. The only real caveat for reiserfs at the moment is the lack of selinux support. Oh yes, I also use reiserfs at home on the desktop with tailmerging enabled. An extra 10% diskspace is significant especially when its 200gb partitions :-) -Dan
