There are theoretical advantages to using reiserfs if you've got a huge number
of small files. I didn't notice any difference in performance between
reiserfs and ext3 when I had partitions of both types on the same system,
though. Reports from the trenches say that if you've got filesystem
corruption, then reiserfsck has a greater chance of totally hosing everything
than e2fsck does. The one time I had to use reiserfsck, it recovered
everything, but that's just me.
