    Mind you that my personal experiences with reiserfs were some years ago
    but one does not continue to use stinky technology.

    A busy mailserver (with maildir) with reiser3. One PSU fried itself, the
    remaining one decided it can't handle the load. Replaced the PSU, got the
    box up and resorted to running fsck. Ended up with half the data as
    mumbojumbo in lost+found and the other half just gone. Mkreiserfs-time and
    full recovery from backups. Migration to ext3 after a few weeks of
    testing.

    And the list goes on, with various equipment. Desktop pc's and servers.

    ext3 with htree is what I support nowadays.
