I'd have to say 'me too' here, although I only use it for our maildirs... My understanding is reiserfs' big weak point is unclean shutdowns, which can be minimized/eliminated by using good UPS's and hardware RAID cards with battery backup for the cache... Mine survived one unclean shutdown (extended power outage in the middle of the night) with no problems... I've also hear people who have had nightmares with ext3... No filesystem is perfect. -- Best regards, Charles
