--- Comment #4 from deference@null.net ---
On the suggestion to not use reiserfs:

My interest in using reiserfs was so that I would have tail packing. I've
searched online and can't find another FS with this function for Linux.
The reason I need tail packing is because I keep a bunch of mostly git
repositories on my system. These contain a lot of files that are either small
or are empty. I could try to hardlink all the empty files and small duplicate
files, but git would complain. I could compress the source code like I do with
normal code bases, but then I'd need to decompress and update them all.
Writing a script to do that would be nothing, it's just the time involved
compressing/decompressing that would be a waist (which is saying nothing
compared to git's love for full histories instead of up-to-the-last-4-versions
or something).
