ReiserFS is very good with a lot of small files (maildir eg), but I only use it on an Hardware Raid at the moment. I have very good experience with XFS. I run it on an LVM on an hardwareraid and on an raid5 software raid without any problems :) ext3 is of course a save route, thought from time to time you read about problems with ext3 and software raid. so before you gon into production I'd do some tests :) - -- Clemens Schwaighofer - IT Engineer & System Administration ========================================================== TEQUILA\Japan, 6-17-2 Ginza Chuo-ku, Tokyo 104-8167, JAPAN Tel: +81-(0)3-3545-7703 Fax: +81-(0)3-3545-7343 http://www.tequila.co.jp ========================================================== -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFAcgAcjBz/yQjBxz8RAhlyAJ4sLbndQQ1M36RFyV4AXkpMYEgd8ACfSELK ZyvcPzkKi9F1lIe+WSn+eZg= =SN0e -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
