Well, I know people who were using ReiserFS for a big database and went
back to ext2 and fscks because they had some problems (don't know more
details). I heard Redhat doesn't plan to ship ReiserFS in 7.0 because it
is not stable enough.
Personnaly, I had some tests of ReiserFS on a hardware RAID system
exported by NFS and had a lot of problems. One of them being having files
full with \0 on a sudden death of the NFS server.
I've been using ext3 for about a year and never had any problem...

Ok, so here is a bug report: 250 Go hardware RAID exported by NFS, a
client writing on the RAID through NFS, push reset on the NFS server. I
did it twice and each time I had corrupted files full of \0. The machines
are running Mandrake 7.1b.
Ext3 would really be nice (even if it is not proposed to the end user,
but to have it as a module) for its ability to go back to ext2.
