Which distribution?
You'll get better performance with ext3 on a 2.6 kernel than on a 2.4
kernel, and you'll get a long-term support path. resierfs is a dead-end
product with the original developer already focusing on a new
content-addressable file system. With ext3, you're pretty safe in
betting that 5 years from now you'll still be able to read your original
file systems without having to backup/restore the whole shot.
With RHEL 3 or 4, the answer is even more obvious - reiserfs is not
supported at all. It breaks and you get to keep both pieces.
