I've heard of significant problems with reiserfs, but never experienced 
any. I personally believe those problems were due to a "bad" release of 
reiserfs.

I did quite a bit of testing of reiserfs before using it on my web cache 
cluster, and it's now been in production for 6 months with never a 
glitch (or not a filesystem one).

To be honest, you'll probably find people who've had problems with every 
filesystem if you hunt hard enough.

Well it's not major, but a 50k messages per day mail relay isn't minor 
either.

That's why I like vmware so much ... I've got around 1/2 dozen virtual 
machines I use regularly at work; without airconditioning, it isn't 
wise to have that many real machines (the office is hot enough as it 
is).
