Hi all,

I need to decide what is better to be used on a web server for a
partition that will house the multiple directories where file
uploads/downloads will happen from.

I was thinking of going Reiser for speed and large capacity (we expect
many many files) but I read somewhere today that ext3 might be just as
good now and offer better protection against data corruption.

I can't seem to google a good comparison. 

Thanks for input and/or suggestions

Gerard
