Hi,
infact I can say comparing Reiserfs and Ext3... Reiserfs complies more
towards posix acls and its faster for smaller files and multiple
recursive directories. Even for large Files its quite fast... but in
case you are planning to store file more than 1 GB with a huge Hard
disk I would recommend ext3...

regards
