I started off with resierfs, that ended up being a mistake, i ended up
converting them to ext3. The reason for this is that the harddisk didn't
spin down much. I did some interenet searches and found out htat the
commit of reiser was not easy to adjust. The laptop mode patch was also
not very effective with reiserfs.
I am quite happy with ext3.
