ReiserFS is rather good...


Just so long as you're aware its filesystem recovery tools aren't as powerful as any of the Ext2 tools out there.  If a drive starts to go, you may lose *everything* while with Ext2, you can most certainly save far more.


You do keep regular backups do you not?...

I prefer the advantages of a good file system and a thorough backup strategy.

Been hammering ReiserFS for many months now with nary a problem other than reckless stupidity on one or two occasions. Reiser recovered with hardly a hiccup.


Good luck,
Martin
