Hi,
Couldn't resist to answer, but as first point: i'm using reiserfs for
some 4-5 years quite w/o problems (incl. power-offs), but now just
wander why people's experiences are so opposite, to me it seems to have
something to do with a whole combination of BIOS|hardware & software
side not just the software|fs. Follow your experience if any.
