well in my opinion an FS depends on what you want to do. ReiserFS is
very good with a lot of small files (maildir eg), but I only use it on
an Hardware Raid at the moment.
I have very good experience with XFS. I run it on an LVM on an
hardwareraid and on an raid5 software raid without any problems :)
ext3 is of course a save route, thought from time to time you read about
problems with ext3 and software raid. so before you gon into production
I'd do some tests :)
