Reiserfs is surely a good choice, but I experimented recently some
corruption problems that I never had with a "standard" ext2 FS.

And when comes the moment to repair it, it is much more difficult.

I don't say Reiserfs is a bad choice. On the contrary I like it, but one
should be prepared to some trouble from time to time.

PS. The last problem I had was on /tmp: When I made "ls -l", everything
looked fine, but a simple "ls" said "xxxx: file not found", xxxx was not
showed with the "ls -l" command. I had to boot on a cd-rom to repair the
FS.
