UFS2 scales very well on a havy loaded server so I see no reason to use RaiserFS or any other FS in FreeBSD ? I've ran, and is about to do so, a major newfeed machine, which use alot of disk i/o, on UFS2 without any trouble. With softupdate in UFS2 the fsck in case of a crash is very time limited. As for XFS and ReiserFS support you do have the support in ports: Path: /usr/ports/sysutils/progsreiserfs Info: Utilities and library to manipulate ReiserFS partitions Path: /usr/ports/sysutils/xfsprogs Info: A set of utilities and library to manipulate an xfs filesystem I've never used them tho.
