yes, I know ext2/3 is not a good choice, (quadratic behaviour on copy).
reiserfs would have been my first choice, however:

so using reiserfs will not save space. ext2/3 do have 1K block-size.
I do the copy once. Since this is a home-server (no more than 2-3 
queries a day),
saving 1.6GB storage is more important than freedb server performance or 
initial copy time.

That steals the common from the goose.
