This is NOT the same, since ReiserFS was generaly developed by  ONE  KEY
PERSON "Hans Reiser" where the Linux  Kernel  itself  has  several  1000
contributors which can take over at any time...

Of course, ReiserFS is only a small part of  the  Kernel  and  they  are
enough other FileSystems...

Even with ext3 and powerfails I have had never problems with it...

Do you have seperated partitions for

    1)  Operating System
    2)  /tmp
    3)  /var/log
    4)  Data

On my production server, I have partitions like:

sda1     1000 MB        Rescue system           READ ONLY
sda2     4000 MB        SWAP
sda3    10000 MB        /tmp

sda5     2000 MB        Production 1 /          READ ONLY
sda6     2000 MB        Production 1 /var/log
sda7     2000 MB        Production 2 /          READ ONLY
sda8     2000 MB        Production 2 /var/log

If the system goes down and I was in "Production 1" I boot  automaticaly
the next time into "Production 2" which is a copy of "Production 1"  and
I can check "Production 1" without any problems...

And if "Production 2" fails for any reason, I can boot automaticaly into
"Rescue" for recovery...
