I use it because I have millions of files in a directory and hundreds of such directories. ext2 used to require artificial extra levels of directory hierarchy to cope with such things and needed planning of inodes etc. Oh, and I haven't [ yest :( ] been bitten by reiser although I know some people have.
Right, but that is also why I said some of us are using Reiser because of some specific needs (your FS needs are a perfect example of that), but the number of people who select Reiser on this kind of detailed criteria must be quite small. I would hazard to guess that the vast majority (of which I am one) who are hanging on to Reiser are doing so out of habit more than anything else. Hmmm I wish ZFS was available as a Linux FS (without being forced to use fuse because of wonky licensing).
