its not nonsense - ext2/3 is vastly overrated - However, I am aware that its very much dependent on your use case. And in my use case, Ive been bitten too many times.
Never heard that ext3 is good for small files - the opposite in fact as it doesnt do tail packing (so can waste huge amounts of space), and has limited number of inodes available - which limit I ran into. Ive since reformatted with the maximum, but that is supposed top cause performance problems though I have not measured how much its slowed the FR down. I am worried about the future for Reiserfs, but apparently work was continuing when I last checked.
