I just noticed that ReiserFS has significant performance over ext3, 4 when dealing with small files.

One would be either ext3 or ext4, with huge block size, while the second could be one of two with small block size(minimum 1024).

I want to use 1.8TB for data where will be big files and also huge amount of small files, thus I want to ask which FS is best for this. Until now I've used reiserfs on cca 0.5TB partition, but I don't know if it's also good choice for that big partition. I've thought about zfs, but I don't need snapshots and such stuff mostly scaling is requirement. Thanks Pat ---------------------------------------- Freehosting PIPNI - http://www.pipni.cz/
