I used to swear by it for file servers. One time I got some data corruption that couldn't be recovered (still not sure if it was reiserfs or mdadm to blame) but all the same I moved off of it for ext4 and sometimes xfs as work had mostly stopped on reiserfs anyhow. My recommendation would probably be unless you really need to squeeze a whole lot of performance out of a file system with a whole lot of small files, there's not really enough gains to give up the (admittedly slight) stability gains of ext4.

Subject: reiserfs reliability
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 ?
Thank you--
