I used to use it and it was very reliable... I stopped using it after Hans Reiser murdered his wife.

Reiserfs was good with a lot of small files.  
Since then kernel support for Reiser v4 hasn't really materialized.. most people go with ext4; I hear a lot of mentions of btrfs also but haven't used it yet.

I am thinking to use reiserfs in one of my storage server. I have not used reiserfs before and I am wondering how reliable it is. Any one have any experience with the reliability of reiserfs ? From what I can see, it seems to be good for faster access, but I wonder how the reliability is. Anyone used reiserfs before or have any experience with it ?
