Thanks for this - I have heared many maildir admins laud Reiser. How is 
it for ongoing stability and reliability? I suppose with using any 
non-mainstream technology (ie ext stuff) the admins concern is that it 
is less well tested for bugs and corruption.

Eg i see many people saying xfs is great but who wouldn't think of 
having it put into production.
