In most case (except apparently current Gentoo!) ;-) it is better tested and probably more stable than reiserfs. If someone knows they're going to only use so many tracks and maybe isn't pushing the limits of what there hardware can do, or doesn't possibly try to run their sound card at the very lowest latencies all the time like you and I, then I would probably recommend ext3. On the other hand, since I do tend to push the limits of what my hardware can do, should I EVER be able to run Alsa again, then at that unknown date in the future I'll probably be running reiserfs. Problem is, that date appears to be so far in the future anymore that I'm starting to expect xfs to be meat and potatoes by then. ;-) Cheers, Mark
