Oli is correct. If reiser dies, the data is completely lost. It writes to
the journal first, then writes the data. That, and when it decides to
completely kill your B-Trees, you're screwed. After three unrecoverable

Yep, Ive had the same experience with Reiser.
Im suprised noone has mentioned that XFS uses lots of caching and so would
be good but only if your server is on a UPS or has redundant power
supplies.
And forget about NTFS.
Technical arguments aside, if you're serious about data loss and/or
performance, you would be using hardware RAID anyway. 3ware cards are
pretty cheap and the extra money is well worth it for peace of mind.
