I really hope this doesn't turn into another one of those "xxx FS is better then ext2/3" and vice versa threads.

Can't speak for reiserfs but XFS has been solid here for over a year and I know people who are running a large number of business systems (servers, etc.) on XFS.

Well, I see about once a week someone asking about Reiserfs and problems.. I use ext3.. But I just can't figure out if these are user things or if reiserfs just that "flaky"..

I don't see to much ext2/3 or xfs questions.. But I don't know just how many people actually use XFS..

Purusing the Gentoo FAQ, I ran across the following:

"ReiserFS and filesystem corruption issues -- how to fix'em, etc
 If your ReiserFS partition is corrupt, try booting the Gentoo Linux
 boot CD and run reiserfsck --rebuild-tree on the corrupted filesystem.
 This should make the filesystem consistent again, although you may
 have lost some files or directories due to the corruption."

Granted I should have read this before doing the install, but, I made
all my partitions Reiser (except for boot).  So now I'm wondering
about the likelihood of data corruption.  Has anyone experienced it?
Are there things I can do to ensure it doesn't happen to me (or at
least reduce the possibility)?  (Other than "backup early, backup
often" of course :)
