UFS2 scales very well on a havy loaded server so I see no reason to use
RaiserFS or any other FS in FreeBSD ?
I've ran, and is about to do so, a major newfeed machine, which use alot
of disk i/o, on UFS2 without any trouble.
With softupdate in UFS2 the fsck in case of a crash is very time
limited.

As for XFS and ReiserFS support you do have the support in ports:

Path: /usr/ports/sysutils/progsreiserfs
Info: Utilities and library to manipulate ReiserFS partitions

Path: /usr/ports/sysutils/xfsprogs
Info: A set of utilities and library to manipulate an xfs filesystem


I've never used them tho.

Patrik
