I did find that almost everyone said that ReiserFS handled large amounts of files much better than ext2 or ext, but what about a MySQL database situation with a very limited numbers of files. Such as 300, or less than 100 even? Is Reiser a better FS than ext3 for MySQL when you have a very limited number of files, and when the files are larger in size, such as 2-3GB each? Or is there not much difference and one should just stick with ext3. It seems like there is talk that XFS handles larger files much better than other file systems, however it's still not reliable enough to use in an actual production environment. Is this true as well?
