Well, ext3 is just a journaling extension, instead of reiserfs that is
another kind of fs.
ext3 has many advantages:

1) full compatibility
2) easy switch between ext2/ext3
3) journaling made easy

Of course, reiserfs is great, but do you need his advantages in a coda env?
I mean, dealing with speed, transimitting data over the network is always
slower then a local fs (reiser/ext3/ext2). So I think the needed feature is
just journaling for data integrity, and this can be done with the simplier
ext3.

Any comments?
