The problem with the Reiser family FSs is that they are inherently brittle. Now that they have been sufficiently debugged, they no longer lose data often, but if you have even a small unrepairable corruption, it is still more likely that you’ll lose half your disk instead of just a few files, as is the extX family’s failure mode.
How do you know this? It doesn't seem to be implied by any of the papers that I referenced, but nor is it contradicted by them. I would like more data.
