i think, based on the number of files per directory, that they reference
reiserfs as theri filesystem -- which i would not use for mission
critical storage. on toasters, it's fast as hell, but for real data
storage i would stick to ufs+softupdates since this turned out to be the
most stable solution i had my hands on in the last years.
linux evangelists keep telling the public that reiserfs actually would
be a production quality fs and this is simply not true, IMVHO.
