[ale] reiserfs question

[Jeff Hubbs]

Hi, Dave -

Reiserfs is supposed to be good for large quantities of small files.  I
have been using it on my file server for some time and it has been
working flawlessly, even though there have been several recommendations
to not use it (not the least of which being from the Gentoo team).
