I was running reiser4 for more than a year and found it rather temperamental on my hardware (hard lock ups, corrupted fs, etc). Eventually, I replaced it with ext4 and have not had problems since. For me reiser4 seemed to perform better (as in faster) than ext4, in all but mounting speeds. YMMV -- Regards, Mick
