Thats a flamebait. People never agree due to their experiences. Besides that
depends upon what kind of database you are dealing with.

Best bet is benchmark for your own app. Reiser/XFS/JFS are all good. Ext3
requires selection of proper mode. Its almost equally good. You decide what
works best for you..

A fast HD with a good RAID controller. Subject to budget, SCSI are beter buy
than IDE. So does hardware SCSI RAID.
