I've been running ReiserFS eversince mandrake 7.2 first came out, and I
have to say taht I've had no problems. After a dirty shutdown or a power
failure, everything swings back up with no worries. I haven't seen any
data corruption or loss of data.
Currently I run it on 3 4.3 GB SCSI drives, 1 18 GB SCSI drive, and 1 20
GB IDE drive, no worries on any of them.
This filesystem is fantastic.
Cheers
