I didn't list all the requirements. They aren't all written down
in one place, and they didn't all seem appropriate here, either.
Some of the requirements do include having a minimum of things to
administer, a minimum of things to debug, and a minimum of things
exposed to failing.

It would be a help, even if it just gives subtopics when then have
the list of other man pages.

How well does ext3 deal with 3000000 files in a single directory?
How well does ext3 deal with 3000000 files that have no more than
16 bytes each? These capabilities in ReiserFS have helped in a few
projects already. I am at 3.6 in Linux 2.4.18 and it has been good
to me so far. It's even dealt with messy issues like files that are
the executeable images of running processes being deleted, rebooting,
and cleaning up properly afterwards. Maybe some of that extra code
is what helps do things like tail packing. But I consider it a good
feature to have.
