[OpenAFS] ReiserFS /vicep, general performance with lots of vols in single part?

[Michael Loftis]

OK I know it's probably been asked before but I can't seem to find anything 
recently.  Is anyone currently using a ReiserFS backed AFS Server?  I'm 
using one in a 'toy' environment at home, and I like the dynamic expansion 
capability, and the abiltiy to shrink the (offline) filesystem as well.

Any performance benchmarks on ext3 v. reiser for AFS usage?

One of the reasons I'm looking at reiser is because of the potentially 
staggering number of volumes I may have on a single partition (10k+)...with 
all the small VOL*.vol files in the /vicep?? I think that ext3 would get 
huge slowdowns.

Anyone tried writing a patch to 'hash' the vol files?  Performance 
bottlenecks here/etc?

TIA!!!
