Ext3 has worked well for me in the past, but I always felt like I was missing out on the latest and greatest. I also used also use ReiserFS as well, but stopped using it because of the problems already mentioned. Reiser4 performance for small files was great, but I just finished recovering from a catastrophic Reiser4 failure, so I personally wouldn't recommend it to anyone. (fsck.reiser4 ended up removing about half of my files) Also, the sync operation on reiser4 was extremely slow (around 3-4 seconds), so any application that used sqlite would take forever since it calls fsync() all the time. I'm currently trying out XFS. It is a little slower for operations on many small files, but has nice utilities like xfs_fsr. I'm also hoping to try out ext4 and btrfs (http://oss.oracle.com/projects/btrfs/). I'll probably wait a few months for them to become a bit more stable before I move anything important to it!
