That Raiser FS kicks ext3 ass (literaly) when compared to manage a lot of small files (maildir), then I know that, because I used raiserFS in my old companies mailserver. But at home I don't use maildir, I use mailbox (from mozilla) and I have crappy old hardware, therefore I need not a sofisticated file system, but one that can withstand a bumpy country road. | Five second rule! | | (jeez talk about cross-posting.
