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.
