I know about the inventors legal issues but that doesn't mean someone else can't pick up where he left off. I'm currently using reiserfs and love the heck out of it. I'm not real big on ext. I wouldn't use XFS unless it was all that was left. I tried it once a while back and found out it does not like power failures at all. Each time I had a power failure, I had to reinstall from scratch.
