Interesting to know. I've personally had bad experiences with ReiserFS, at least as provided by the Mandrake Linux 9.2 installer. On my own machine I got crippling file system errors after just a few days with it. I quit using it at that point. Another friend was using ReiserFS and found it hung at boot time after a few days, needing a manual fsck. I've had less problems with 'ext3'.
