EVIL VANDALS (Strangnet AlistairMcMillan & RJASE1 etc) gave NO reason for deletion of fact based/referenced addition. WHY are they not deleted from wikipedia.

In its time, Reiser3 (ReiserFS) was an advanced filesystem, but it is beginning to show its age.
 
A comparison of Reiser3 and other filesystems can be found at:
 
http://m.domaindlx.com/LinuxHelp/resources/fs-benchmarks.htm
 
The first column names the filesystem tested.
The second column records the total time (in seconds) it took to run the filesystem benchmarking software bonnie++ (Version 1.93c).
The third column records the total number of megabytes needed to store 655 megabytes of raw data.
 
SMALLER is better.

Each test was preformed 5 times and the average value recorded. SMALLER is better.
 
The test results show that, Reiser4, the replacement Reiser3, is an outstanding filesystem.
 
The bonnie++ tests were preformed, with the following parameters:
 
bonnie++ -n128:128k:0
 
More detail on the tests can be found here: http://m.domaindlx.com/LinuxHelp/resources/fs-benchmarks.htm
 
The above site provides a script, so that you can check these results for yourself.
