Too late anyway :-)

ResierFS is the most efficient in handling large number of small files.
So you'd want to put your Oracle DB on XFS but your Squid cache on
Reiser (but beware, I have seen surveys that indicate that ext3
sometimes behaves better that reiser for squid). In any case it is
excellent - and I mean it - that all(?) major stable (he-he) journaling
filesystems are available in Mandrake. You have the choice, do not you?
