Yeah, and I would never have found that issue, if I didn't move my
data over to a case insensitive file system.

I didn't really pay attention to that, so I have no idea.

Strange, with our in-house testing we found JFS to have very good
performance, especially over ext3, ext4 and Reiserfs. ReiserFS had
some strange things going on, and made the hard drive work it's ass
off, even while nobody was using the system (just standing there
idle). Maybe ReiserFS was doing BTree balancing or something - no
idea, but we didn't like it.
