Also, look at going back to plain, garden-variety ext3. I don't think
that ReiserFS is as stable as ext3, at least not yet.
This surprises me a bit.
Maildir having the structure it has (one email, one file), isn't
Reiserfs the way to go? I mean, if I have a imap server and a user
collects, say, 5000 emails in one email folder. That means that there
will be one directory with 5000 files in it.
According to various File system benchmarks, ext3 performs rather slow
in those circumstances (lots of files in a directory). Isn't there also
a risk of inode starvation with ext3 and loss of space due to the 4k
block size?
I have no preference one way or the other. currently I am building a
corporate email solution, and soon also need to make a choice for the
file system of the maildirs.
Any comments would be appreciated.

Marijn.
