If you want to talk about 2.6 then you should talk about reiser4 not reiserfs v3, and reiser4 is 7.6 times the write performance of ext3 for 30 copies of the linux kernel source code using modern IDE drives and modern processors on a dual-CPU box, so I don't think any amount of improved scalability will make ext3 competitive with reiser4 for performance usages.

We haven't had anyone test performance using RAID yet for reiser4, that could be fun.
I have a 14-drive hardware RAID array on an 8-proc box. Is that the kind of thing you want testing on? If you want to send me some testing scripts, I'll run them.

Yes, that would be cool.
Green, please respond to this email with details for him.
I have access to a 3 drive hw RAID system with dual processors if you'd like some more testing. Do you have info on recommended stripe sizes vs. performance for Reiser using RAID?
