reiser, jfs or xfs ?

what is better and for what ? does anyone any comparison benchmark table for this filesystems ?

what would be better for a huge access read/write mysql database ?

thank you

my choice for a database would be XFS
Fast stable and well supported

Reiser great for lots of little files it extremely quick at reading massive collection of small files so isnt what you want.
I really notice the difference in EXT3 and Reiser with my photo collection.

Which ever you choose
noauto and noatime will speed it up
and
deadline disk access kernel setting

i recommend ext3 or ntfs.

How the devil do you suggest he use NTFS on a Linux box?
3rd party tools for writting to NTFS in linux have huge performance penalties.

From what I know from my own experience, Reiser can get fragmented and thus slow things down. Ran Gentoo with Reiser for / and /home. After a while, 3 or 4 months, I began to notice a definite delay in applications loading. Not eternity mind you, just slower than what I got with a fresh install.

most likely was the /home partition
but since reiserfs likes very small files is probably prone fragmentation on fairly large files
