It was a journaling file system, which ext2 was not and faster for some

Reiserfs is a filesystem that supports tail packing:

The ext* filesystems do not support tail packing.

Btrfs supports tail packing but I would never trust my data to that
piece of shit.

If one has huge numbers of very small files then tail packing
is a great advantage.  That's why I always used reiserfs until
those fucking bastards deprecated it.
