I formatted up the holding disk with a large blocksize and small inode
count. It's never going to have over 100 files on it so I doubt
ReiserFS is worth the hassle. I do all my backups with dump, ufsdump
or xfsdump now. I'd just as soon avoid adding in gnu tar too.
Though since I've got one Digital Unix box where the vfsdump doesn't
work...
