Most of the time we deal with very large files, with sequential access.
Only in few places we deal with a lot of small files (e.g. indexing).
So, I think the best would be an FS optimized for efficient sequential
write/read of large files.
Is reiserfs such an FS? I'm not sure, I think these requirements point
rather to a fairly primitive FS (not FAT - a real FS ;-) ), perhaps
reiserfs is too complex.
When in doubt, test.
