Please stop spreading FUD.
<shrug> I'm not saying that's *true*, I'm just saying I've heard that a lot...
Thats called spreading FUD. If you don't know, you don't know, so why say it? I've heard plenty of horror stories about ext2/ext3, xfs, etc ALL losing data...
The fact is, I've been using reiserfs on numerous boxes for many years with ZERO problems.
The biggest issue is unclean shutdowns, but that problem is not unique to reiserfs, and can be minimized/eliminated by being smart - using battery backed up RAID controllers (if you're using hardware RAID), using good UPSs, using UPS s/w to cleanly shutdown a system before the UPS battery dies in the event of an extended power loss, etc...
Anyway, this is completely OT...
