MySQL: EXT3 vs Reiserfs

I'm publishing some initial figures here. These are far from extensive.

I've benchmarked MySQL using some of the tests from the MySQL-bench package with both the EXT3 and Reiserfs file systems.

I've already done some tests to compare the performance of RAID5 and RAID10.

The test machine is a Dell Poweredge 1ghz Pentium III Coppermine, 256KB cache, 512MB RAM, with an Adaptec AIC-7899 Ultra 160/m SCSI host adapter. The OS is a standard RedHat Advanced Server 2.1 installtion.
