Have a look at:

http://www.namesys.com/

Basically, reiserfs is a journalling file system which gives better
performance (faster file access) and which comes up very quickly after
a power failure.  With ext2fs, if you have a blackout, you need to do
e2fsck on it which sometimes takes ages.  With reiserfs, the file
system comes uptodate in a matter of seconds.  I'm using it and am
very happy with it.

Cheers,

Mark.
