OK, if ext2 would be of interest. 
Here is the result of df -T:

Filesystem    Type    Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda1     ext3    236M   77M  148M  35% /
/dev/hda9     ext3     20G  8.0G   12G  41% /home
/dev/hda11     jfs    3.9G  1.8G  2.2G  46% /share_jfs
/dev/hda10
          reiserfs    4.0G   73M  3.9G   2% /share_reiser
/dev/hda12     xfs    4.8G  290M  4.5G   6% /share_xfs
/dev/hda8     ext3    236M  4.7M  219M   3% /tmp
/dev/hda6     ext3    2.9G  1.3G  1.5G  47% /usr
/dev/hda7     ext3    479M   63M  392M  14% /var

I'll do the test on /tmp remounted as ext2.
Back in a while,
