I just tried converting a FS from reiser to ext4 and got a ridiculous 'out of space' message - it turned out that the 'lots-a-small-files' meant I ran out of inodes long, long before I ran out of data space. Does reiser allocate inodes dynamically? Yes. You could also use xfs. That's is exactly why I gave up on ext3 and ext4 because I've got too many small files. And for whatever reason, I found reiserfs 100 x more reliable than ext3. I've been using reiserfs for over 3 years and have NOT had to do a complete rebuild of the fs yet (except when I do upgrades - I always rebuild for upgrades - for me, it just works better) I've been using ext3/4 for that long and haven't had to do a filesystem.
These days, in this use case, I'd go with btrfs. It's ready.
But XFS is perfectly adequate.
So, does btrfs replay some sort of journal if the system locks up or crashes. Lately, the flash plugin has been crashing left and right and even sometimes locks up my whole computer, where I have to hit the reset button to get back up.
