best filesystem for imap server

UFS is an utter nightmare, particularly with an IMAP load.  I've never run
cyrus in particular on it, but knowing how it handles directories with
lots of small files... Well, let's just say it's like ext2/3 without the
horsepower.  Veritas, I hear, is supposed to be quite good at these
things, but again, I haven't seen it personally.
