I am.
I recall some years ago (2..4) reiserfs claimed that a file with a certain
name had the same name as another file, which had a different name in
fact. This was reported in the security list at the time. I was one of the
people that tried it... and my partition was completely hosed, I had to
reformat it. The problem was duly corrected.
All on record.
Also, I can report failures with XFS and EXT3. I still have an XFS
partition that crashes the recovery program, which I forgot to report. One
of this days, if I can still reproduce the failure or find my notes.
Software is fallible. The more complex a piece of software is, the more
fallible it is. That doesn't make it necessarily bad.
