What version of the kernel? If you're using the stock kernel, use something more than 2.4.6, which contains fixes for all reiserfs/nfs issues to date. The reiserfs site has everything you need to create a custom kernel based on stock linus. > hard disk has a bad sector, the whole reiserfs partition dies.

Sometimes the multitude of reiserfs patches out there contributes to the notion of "instability". I've used reiserfs on mandrake's 2.2.17 kernel with no problems [except for the times when there's bad hardware]. Reiserfs still has more "online" deployment time than any other journaling fs, and there has to be something to be said about its maturity as compared to others which aren't even in the stock linus kernel. _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
