[afnog] Read/Write Comparison

Hi,

At the risk of starting a flame war I would like to request the list's opinion 
on how UFS (read freeBSD default) compares to other journalled file systems 
like XFS, Reiserfs or ext3 (read Linux default) when it comes to multiple 
heavy read/write operations on a fairly large raided partition >100GB at the 
rate of thousands per second. What am looking at is
1. Is UFS consistent enough in its journalizing to reduce the risk of file 
system errors?
2. Why do a majority of large email services prefer Linux for core email 
services?
