    Hi,

    Before installing two new debian-sarge servers I've decided to re-visit my
    woody-decision on ReiserFS. This time I wanted ACLs.

    So ext3 would be rather out of the question, for multiple reasons.

    Come ReiserFS and XFS into the game. Which one to choose? I've heard
    positive reports of fellow-admins on XFS and am not quite sure whether
    ReiserFS4 made it into Sarge. Which would be needed to get ACLs.

    So if there's anyone out there with experience with either ReiserFS4 or
    XFS with Sarge I'd love to hear it.

    Jan
