ReiserFS is a filesystem that I've been using since my first linux installation (that's 8 years ago) and have been working rock solid on all the machines (servers, workstations and desktop computers). True is that all the machines are properly backed by UPS units but this filesystem has been recovering very well even when the computers had to be reseted or powered down in a not so nicely manner. In brief, I like ReiserFS and the only thing that refrains me for keeping using it is that, AFAIK, nowadays is only receiving patches (no new features) in the mainline kernel.
