I'm concearned about this because we are going to switch our fist server to a
Journaling FS (on Linux).
Searching and asking I found out that for our short term work we need ReiserFS
(it's for a proxy server).
Put the interesting thing was that for large (very large) files, everybody
recomends XFS.
The drawback of XFS is that it's very, very sloooow when deleting files.
