After hearing Ted T'so talk about how Reiser's fsck works,
basically searching for things that look like blocks and joining
them up, I felt a bit uncomfortable - what if you have an image
of a riserfs on a reiserfs partition? I've herad some other
unplesant things too, though I can't remember any of them off hand.

So I don't recommend that people use Reiser FS, though I do know
a lot of work has gone into it, and a lot of people find it 
quite useful, and thats fine too.
