ReiserFS has many situations where file system corruption can make operations
such as "find /" trigger a kernel Oops.
Having a file system decide to panic the kernel because your mount options
instructed it to (ext3) is one thing. Having the file system driver corrupt
random kernel memory and cause an Oops (Reiser) is another. The ReiserFS
team's response to such issues has not made me happy so I am removing it from
all my machines and converting to Ext3.
Also you can't have a ReiserFS file system mounted read-only while fsck'ing
it. Which makes recovering errors on the root FS very interesting to say the
least.
