I have always found reiser3 to be rock solid
My experienced too, over many server years.
but you can't
mention using reiserfs in mixed company without someone accusing
you of
throwing your data away.
People who repeat this rarely have any direct experience of Reiser;
they repeat what they've heard; like all myths and legends they are
transmitted orally rather than based on scientific observation.
You would think the developers would be doing
more to counter this but I have been following reiserfs for years and
nobody seems to really care all that much.
Can't do much about human nature. MySQL suffers from the same
baseless poisoned folk wisdom.
