Sure in theory you are right. But ReiserFS don't seem to be stable enough
(atleast for me) as on the _FIRST_ crash (Power failure on the whole 
PC) I had, it shrederd my data. ext2 sometime eats data too, I know - 
but only files - at least on my side it never killed whole partitions.

I am hoping for ext3 as it works on top of ext2 afaik.
