Well, that was *8* years ago ... things change in 8 years, you know ... :-)
Use whatever makes you happy, but basing decisions based on antiquity
may not be the best way to go. I used to use ReiserFS way back when
(up till about 3 years ago), and I never had that problem. I did have
a drive start to die, and when I re-formatted it, I decided to change
to a different filesystem, mostly because I could.
