Here are the links:

SLES releases:

Red Hat, major player in Enterprise game, is supporting ext* for years.
reiserfs is not enabled by default.

So, IMHO, since less people will be using reiser, I would not use that
in my installations.

Also ext2 is preferred on many installations, especially when people
want to avoid journals.


If i was a betting man, I would guess that (currently being developed)
ext4 will win the filesystem popularity contest at some point in the
future, and will probably dominate enterprise linux installations.

As I understand resier4, its features are irrelevant if your filesystem 
will mostly be holding postgres data.

I heard that reiser4 is not yet stable.  And that there is a chance that it 
wont be since its
author is in detention. Most of the recommendations that I've seen are to use 
good-old-reliable
EXT3 which keeps your data safe.
