According to these benchmarks (http://fsbench.netnation.com/new_hardware/2.6.0-test9/scsi/bonnie.html) ReiserFS handles deletes much better than ext2 (10,015/sec vs 729/sec)
But these benchmarks (http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/388) say the following: For quick operations on large file tree, choose Ext3 or XFS. Benchmarks from other authors have supported the use of ReiserFS for operations on large number of small files. However, the present results on a tree comprising thousands of files of various size (10KB to 5MB) suggest than Ext3 or XFS may be more appropriate for real-world file server operations But they both say don't use ext2 :) -- Michael Peters Plus Three, LP
