I've installed it on about 30 servers with no problems at all. I think
there was one release of the kernel in 2002 thar had a reiser bug, but I
never used that one.
If you were running a few big files I'd say use ext3. But when it comes
to lots of little files like maildir you're looking at like a 10x speed
