i agree that XFS is probably going to show to be the most stable,
reliable and mature over reiser and ext3. it has been pointed out
though that the linux port is alot of new code, so there is certainly
potential for bugs there too. i think XFS is certianly at a better
stage to be included in the kernel then reiser was/is when it went in...
