Then, you really had bad luck :-(
I am using reiserfs for more than half a year now, on all my
machines i do my daily work. Because i have to bother around
with many unstable drivers for brand new products, the
machines are crashing very often ... maybe a hundred
times up to now. And of course, i sometimes shut down
the machines regular :-)
Just know, i am typing this mail using linux-2.4.0-test2-ac2 with
reiserfs ...
btw: i don�t have a streamer and don�t do backups :-)
(ok, more or less usefull things are backuped throug the web)
but maybe that is like jumping from a big building: while
passing each levels, you can state "until know everything
just went fine" :-)
Maybe i just had luck all the time, but on the other hand:
there was some kind of bug half a year ago in reiserfs
that prevented SuSE from using it as the default filesystem.
But now, SuSE and Mandrake offer reiserfs as alternative
filesystem in it�s graphical installer ... SuSE even
encourages their customers to use reiserfs ...
At least, i heard nothing bad about reiserfs for months,
and more and more people are using it ...
But you are right, to be 100% sure, use ro-mounted ext2
and a ramdisk for /tmp (/var and /project can be rw-mounted ext2,
since the fsck won�t take much time, if the filesystem
is kept small)
