What about XFS? This is a stable, fast and reliable file system and works great with large files. One problem with RedHat and EXT3 in the enterprise is the 8TB file system limit. XFS seems to have no problems with RedHat and 12TB. Too bad it is not supported by RedHat.

Reiserfs works wonders in a small file & high i/o environment. For example a mail gateway running on a SSD. If you value your data, stay away from reiserfs.
You can say that... I had two or three cases where the system crashed
and reiserfs was unable to repair. Every fsck seemed to make it worse
and we ended up formatting the disk (in ext3) and do a file level
restore from backup.
