Within a week the machine would not boot anymore and would not repair with the reiserfs tools. I don't shut it off improperly or anything like that, and have been doing admin work for many years on Linux.
ReiserFS? Never again. I have over 80 machines using ext3 that "just work". Why I even bothered with ReiserFS on that one machine is beyond me...

Well, I see about once a week someone asking about Reiserfs and problems.. I use ext3.. But I just can't figure out if these are user things or if reiserfs just that "flaky"..
I don't see to much ext2/3 or xfs questions.. But I don't know just how many people actually use XFS..
Purusing the Gentoo FAQ, I ran across the following:
"ReiserFS and filesystem corruption issues -- how to fix'em, etc
If your ReiserFS partition is corrupt, try booting the Gentoo Linux
boot CD and run reiserfsck --rebuild-tree on the corrupted filesystem.
This should make the filesystem consistent again, although you may
have lost some files or directories due to the corruption."
Granted I should have read this before doing the install, but, I made all my partitions Reiser (except for boot). So now I'm wondering about the likelihood of data corruption. Has anyone experienced it? Are there things I can do to ensure it doesn't happen to me (or at least reduce the possibility)? (Other than "backup early, backup often" of course :)
