don't use it in kernels that reiserfs does not support

- if you value data, don't have data stored only on reiserfs
  and backup data on reiserfs to ext3 wont help if you dont trust
  reiserfs

- i've had reiserfs eat itself up ... but seems to be okay
  in the past year or so ( slack-9 w/ past 2 version of
  reiserfs-3.6.11 - 3.6.14 seems to be ok .. add sarge, fedora, 
  etc to the list too )

- i always use the latest 2.4 or 2.6 kernels and primary apps at the time
  the new machine is being built

- i'd use reiserfs over ext3 any day .. next step is to play with xfs, jfs
