We've been playing with Reiser quite a bit over the last year or more.  The
reason for wanting it was decreased fsck time on large drives.  The
server-type machines that we never reboot have been pretty solid.  On our
workstations, every single one has had some level of file-system corruption
while using Reiser...

Last time I re-installed my laptop I used ext2 instead of Reiser because
it's just more stable.  And ext2 can be easily migrated to ext3.

At this point I'd try XFS or JFS over Reiser.  ext3 is fine.
