That can happen with reiserfs aswell - Reiserfs will not fuss at you at bootup
but if you have a large filesystem then you will see random 0 size files apear
after a few hard-lockups (not rtl related you can get this from "normal" kernel
lockups or powerfailure aswell) - the bad thing about reiserfs is that you will
not notice it until you happen to stumble over the file when you need it.

This is quite well reprocuable on high load fs-trafic - mount a system via nfs
(100Mbit) and cp -a /NFS_SRC /NEW_LOCAL_DIR , lockup the system and reiserfs
will not be able to balance the trees any more -> files are corupt or lost.

The other problem with reiserfs (havent tried ext3) is that during tree 
balancing the fs stalls thus if you are doing heavy data loging you will
loos data. That is a problem that also botheres other heavy loging appps
like network logers on reiserfs (argus, etc.)

Also you still need to have the boot partition on ext2 (one can mount it ro
though)

...and if you realy don't want to loos critical files the only solution is
still daly backups...
