I haven't read any horror stories re Reiser 3 , |
| 8 |
which I've been using for 10 years without any problem ever. |

Reiser 4 was stalling even before its creator's legal problems |
| 10 |
& seems unlikely to get kernel support, |
| 11 |
but Reiser 3 is still being developed & is probably simply mature. |

Reiser is supposed to be good for large numbers of small files, |
| 17 |
so partly it will depend on just what you plan to use the space for. |

My impression is that Btrfs is a bit unstable, but Ext4 is usable. |
| 22 |
I haven't used either. |
