compare filesystem types ???

["Michael D. Schleif" <mds@helices.org>]

Now that we have several filesystem types (ext2/3, reiserfs, &c.), where
can I go to find out pros and cons of each?  Is there some
filesystem-selection-HOWTO?

For instance, what is the best filesystem type on which to install a
database, specifically oracle?

Also, setup and configuration hints are valuable (e.g., block size) . .
.

What do you think?

Dare to fix things before they break . . .

Our capacity for understanding is inversely proportional to how much we
think we know.  The more I know, the more I know I don't know . . .
