You might notice a difference in disk usage if you have enormous
amounts of small files. (In a non-compacting FS every file takes a
multiple of 4 kB, rounded up. With ReiserFS they can take less. For
example if you have 1000 files, each one 128 bytes in length, instead
of taking 4 MB of disk space they only take 128 kB.)

There might be some file systems which support additional permissions,
but I don't remember right now.
