Havent had a problem with reiserfs on raid, except where the ide cable
on one drive fell out when in full flight ... And the main mess was
because I didnt identify the problem soon enough and tried to fix it by
reformating the raid, thinking I had massive partition corruption
instead of half the stripe!

beware that --rebuild-tree can lose a lot of data in some cases as a
directory with errors can get pruned - in total!

reiserfs is fantastic - much better than ext3 which occaionally acts
like the hack that it is - keeps wanting to fsck after 20 boots - I know
you can fix it, but why is this the default?  Also, seems to try and fix
the journel more often than reiserfs, at least on a laptop where
occaisional disasters happen more frequently than desktops ... reiserfs
just works, and works well.
