Benchmarks "There are a lot of Linux filesystems comparisons available but most of them are anecdotal, based on artificial tasks or completed under older kernels. This benchmark essay is based on 11 real-world tasks appropriate for a file server with older generation hardware (Pentium II/III, EIDE hard-drive)."

I've never had good luck with reiser.. seemed to like eating my files and turning them into directories, and I didn't notice it to be significantly faster than any other filesystems for desktop use.

Everyone was saying that "Reiser kicks ass" when I chose it for my desktop system a few years back :/
