Thanks to the recent discussion on Gentoo - I'm now looking at building a Gentoo based web/email server, with Samba. I started reading through the install guide last night, and it mentions that you need to setup a file system, but leaves the type of file system optional. One of the recent posts suggests the ReiserFS is good when many small files are used. Other than that, I don't know much about the differences in the file systems. Is there a decent site out there that discusses the pros and cons of each? If not, would someone knowlegable on the topic be willing to offer some comments?
Thanks in advance.
Shawn
