Oops. Sorry. I didn't want to step on anyone's toes.

YMMV. As I said, I have a couple of big (albeit not heavily used) FS on
Reiser and am quite happy up to now.

No. I base my assessment on other people's experiences. One of the real
downsides or Reiser at the moment seems to be that it is more prone to
silent corruption (triggered by hardware problems). I don't have the
time now to provide references, but if interested, I'll dig it up (maybe
it's time to take this off-list anyway :)
