[ILUG-BOM] ext3 vs Reiserfs

Hi! After having a really bad xperience with ext2 I installed RHL 7.2 with ext3

Earlier I had experimented with Reiserfs and found this interesting thing: I have /home partition (not containing ANY data ) of about 125 MB and I converted it to Reiserfs and surprisingly 33 MB was used (probably for journalling puposes)

Now on another Linux forum one user claimed that he had used most of the journalling filesystems and found Reiserfs to be best and fastest.

Also I have read that Reiserfs journals only metadata while ext3 journals both metadata and data.

I have given a lot of thought but converting / to Reiser is very difficult.Has anyone tried this?

So which is the best filesystem ext3 or Reiser?
