I too thought the 2.4.x issue was overstated, as I had been running with reiser for a few weeks with no problems. Then one day my computer froze - I rebooted, thinking how wonderful Reiserfs was that I was back up in seconds. Then I opened Opera, and found I had no bookmarks. Looking in the bookmark file I found fragments of all sorts of files - some email, news, binary data etc.. Goodness knows what other files had been damaged. Needless to say, I was somewhat chastened and immediately set about reinstating ext2 on all my Linux partitions! -- Phillip Deackes Using Progeny Debian Linux
