Correct me if I'm wrong (and I'm willing to admit that I might be),
but isn't recoverability a big issue with ReiserFS? I seem to remember
somebody telling me at some point that recovering lost data is, by
design, even harder to do than with other Linux filesystems. If
recoverability might be an issue, then I would think about using
something else.
