yes, don't use ext3, stay with reiserfs (mainly for the reason that it has no static inode allocation, i.e. you don't commit yourself to a fixed ratio of inodes per disk space at file system creation time). What was the reason for changing to ext3 in the first place? Installation defaults? Bad experience with reiserfs?
