It's funny this thread should arise because I now think that my recent crash was due to filesystem corruption (maybe not the crash but probably my inability to boot from my root fs). I too am using Reiserfs.
I have experienced several crashes lately, which I have been attributing to excesive heat with my new (small) case. Last night I updated my kernel to 2.4.21-rc7-ac1, and after that I was hard pressed to crash. Maybe that's because it had a long time to cool off...
Anyhow, in any event it seems I have a case of filesystem corruption, possibly from my use of the -ac patch though and not neccessarily to do with reiserfs.

I wouldn't switch from Reiserfs, especially not to ext3; Reiserfs has some big advantages namely, it's ability to deal with many small files (mp3s, caches, etc.) and it's recovery stuff. I use Reiserfs both on my Freevo box, and on a production webserver, which has experienced a few power outages, but has never failed to come back up.
Ext3 is a stopgap in my mind; adding journaling to an existing filesystem makes conversions easier, but if you can start with a proper system, I'd go with Reiser. I don't know about the more "industrial strength" systems like XFS and JFS.

What is the recommended partition type for Freevo? I've been using ReiserFS, but after a accidentally tripped circiut breaker, my system won't reboot. I'm working to recover it, but since the electrical is flaky in my current house, I want to move to something a bit more robust (I know, I should just buy a UPS...). What partition type provides the best mix of performance for Freevo use, balanced with robust crash recovery?
Thanks, Mike
