Yep, this is true. We have 3 separate drives in our server, which we set up: hda -- ext2 -- 6.4 GB IDE -- system disk (/usr,/, /var, /tmp) hdb -- reiserfs -- 20 GB IDE -- user data drive (/home) hdd -- reiserfs -- 20 GB IDE -- backup drive, iso downloads (/backup) Primary reason we went with reiserfs is because fsck's of 20 GB partitions take a while if the system crashes, and we typically have many very small files, as opposed to very few large ones.
