I too thought the 2.4.x issue was overstated, as I had been running with
reiser for a few weeks with no problems. Then one day my computer froze -
I rebooted, thinking how wonderful Reiserfs was that I was back up in
seconds. Then I opened Opera, and found I had no bookmarks. Looking in the
bookmark file I found fragments of all sorts of files - some email, news,
binary data etc.. Goodness knows what other files had been damaged.
Needless to say, I was somewhat chastened and immediately set about
reinstating ext2 on all my Linux partitions!
