corrupts, well... save your time, and go straight to restoring your backups. ReiserFS does seems just like the ducksnuts in terms of performance, but it seems to have accumulated some horror stories along the way: http://www.linuxsa.org.au/pipermail/linuxsa/2002-January/038035.html
Marcs being runing it for 5 years, no issues - any one else using it?
I've been using it for many years. At home, no issues.
We used to have lots of severe corruption issues at work on production servers with ext2/ext3 (and a few with xfs). We switched to reiserfs and no more issues. Not just a few servers either.
So i'd say quoting horror stories from 2002 definitely no longer applies. Its like quoting horror stories about kernel 2.4 (same time frame). And about as relevant :-)
