--Reiserfs4 isn't even available yet, unless you've patched your kernel. Everyone's still using reiserfs v3.
--I've been using reiserfs for just about everything for years (suse 6.4?), and have only lost 1 filesystem during an OS upgrade (suse to knoppix. Nothing important on there, either; just a CD temp partition.)
--I set the ' noatime ' fstab option on everything, and if I need *speed* over space savings I set the ' notail ' flag for reiserfs. Remember, backups are your friend.
--Ext2 isn't even journalled; if you slam the system without a clean shutdown somehow, the fsck will make it clear that using ext2 for anything over 500MB filesystems isn't worth it. Yes, using straight ext2 on a 100MB Zip drive makes sense; but larger filesystems definitely benefit from journalling.
