Not true.  It's not the default for RedHat, but I understand that it's
better used in the European distros and I notice a fair number of
users elsewhere.  For scenery data like DEMs, ReiserFS gives me an
extremely large improvement, sometimes taking only 25% of the disk
space of the same data under E2FS (I didn't check E3FS, but it should
be similar).  I strongly recommend Reiser for anyone working with
scenery data.


All the best,


David
