I think XFS is better for large files - such as video etc. ReiserFS seems to
pack the files in much better than ext3 for me. On one of my systems I have
the basic system (including /usr and /var) on an ext3 system with a file to
file backup on a ReiserFS system. The backup is about 8% smaller than the
original. (1.19G original 1.11G backup) as taken with the df command.
