I'm using ext3 and happy with it so far. :) All I remember is that ReiserFS
was a bad choice for the cache_dir in terms of performance. Journalling
made things slow. XFS was among the best. I hope I remember it correctly.
A fast hard disk and avoiding redundancy on RAIDs like RAID-1 will probably
help.
I'd like to extend the question though: does anyone have experience how
much slower the cache becomes when using Linux' LVM? Time and again I
start to become unhappy with my partitioning scheme.
