Suse Linux has been offering reiserfs as the default file system for several
releases now and their experiences have been quite good.
So have mine. I am running reiserfs 3.6 on almost all my installations (the
others are running xfs) and it just works fine. On one mache, I lost
approximately 700 mb buffer cache due to a problem with my agpgart and the
system crashing hard. While the crash was not releated to reiserfs, the
journal did not do good after reboot and I needed to reiserfsck the system.
Reiserfsck was able to reconstruct the partition with almost no data loss.
I'd consider reiserfs 3.6 stable and mature, and can recommend it.
