I am using Reiser, but mostly because of several power outages here before getting a UPS. I don't know how well it would handle loosing sectors on the disk, but it rides out a power dump/hardware reset fairly well. Personally I would look at getting a new disk drive if mine were to start dropping sectors. -- Alex (Go easy on me, I'm a COBOL programmer in real life)
