I am not sure if I wanted that on our mail server... yet. One problem is that it's too much of a fuss to "reformat" my current reiserfs on our mail server. Second, I am still testing Reiser4 extensively on my home machine. Then, the main distributions aren't supporting it yet.

I don't know where I read it where it says that xfs is unforgiving when caught by a power outgage in a middle of a write or something.. since I live in Baguio where power interruptions are very often (and I don't have a UPS at home), I opted out of xfs.
