I have been using it for for almost 3 years now. It has never let me down unlike some of the other journaling filesystems. No corrupt superblock like jfs. Kinda slow for small files when the parttions reach around 80% full. Plus its sure to piss SCO off :) but for video editing or files over 100kb it can't be beat. Reiserfs is great for directories like /var since 2.4.18 but I have lost too much data in the past to the bugger.
