Very interesting. I only used it for a short time and it worked. But co-workers lost several ReiserFS filesystems completely. Well, if you search for the terms corrupt and your favorite filesystem, you will always find hits. Anyway, I won´t use ReiserFS 3 today for several reasons: 1) It is not yet actively developed anymore, but more in a maintenance. I know for some that might be a reason to use it, but I think this basically increases the risk of breakages instead of reducing it. That said, I didn´t hear of any, and also JFS is in maintenance, but appears to work as well. 2) As to my knowledge a fsck.reiserfs cannot tell the filesystem I check and possible ReiserFS3 filesystems in virtual machine image files on it appart, happily mixing them together in a huge big mess. 3) As to my knowledge mount times of large partitions can be quite long with ReiserFS 3. That said, I am using BTRFS on my main laptop even for /home now after having used it on several other machines for more than a year. Despite from that wierd scrub issue that I "fixed" by redoing the filesystem, rsync backup appeared t be okay, I am ready to trust my data to BTRFS. Also my backup harddisks are BTRFS. I like BTRFS for some reasons, two that immediately come to my mind: 1) It can prove to me that the data is intact. I find this rather valuable. 2) Due to snapshots I know have well snapshots for my backup. And even on SSD for my /home. I am not yet creating those in an automated way, but well I do use them.
