The first test is simply one to try to fill the partition to capacity with very small files (100B), written to the same directory This is intentional: it is a kind of load for which reiserfs was designed for, as the goal of these tests is to find a replacement for reiserfs.
Filesystem formatting are all defaults, no adjustments of any kind.
With the goal of replacing reiserfs and handling lots of small files, maybe you should do a bit of "tuning" by using options for mkfs.ext3/ext4 to create more inodes? The relevant options for mkfs.ext[34] are: -i bytes-per-inode Specify the bytes/inode ratio. mke2fs creates an inode for every bytes-per-inode bytes of space on the disk. The larger the bytes-per-inode ratio, the fewer inodes will be created. This value generally shouldn't be smaller than the blocksize of the filesystem, since in that case more inodes would be made than can ever be used. [...] or -N number-of-inodes Overrides the default calculation of the number of inodes that should be reserved for the filesystem (which is based on the number of blocks and the bytes-per-inode ratio). This allows the user to specify the number of desired inodes directly. This way, you can get numbers for ext3/ext4 with _all_ of your small files written to disk.
