Will,
With regards to ext3fs, I am aware of the journaling properties
and the superior recovery it has in comparison to ext2fs. However,
ext3fs has considerable overhead for writing data to the disk. ReiserFS
is supposedly far swifter at disk writes, which I need to quell the
minor revolt a few of my users are beginning to threaten.

Subject: Re: ReiserFS Support?
The Reiser filing system is supported on RedHat Linux 7.x & 8.0. The
command `mkreiserfs' creates a Linux ReiserFS file system. You can mount
a Reiser fs with `mount -t reiserfs /dev /dir'
Redhat's native fs, ext3, can also use a journel -- `mke2fs -j'. And has
superior back/recovery tools e.g., dump/restore.
