Here is one good reason why you should not run ReiserFS, at least on an IDE drive: http://www.reiserfs.org/faq.html#read-starvation Why do things freeze on my IDE hard drive for annoying amounts of time? Because when large writes are scheduled all at once, reads can starve. A fix for this is evolving; the later your ReiserFS patch, the better we handle this. This was annoying enough for me that I got rid of ReiserFS and went with ext3. Subjectively speaking, ext3 seems just as fast as ReiserFS, except on directories with thousands of files. Regards, Eric
