I'm pretty sure that the default 8.2 install will now put all the linux partitions on the reiserfs. This is a journalling file system, and usually recovers very cleanly from a power cut.
I'd still recommend running reiserfsck after a power failure - I've had a few and fsck has found corruptions after some of them. Once, I've even had to to use --rebuildtree, but this scrambled my disc so badly that I had to reinstall (it is flagged up as dangerous before you run it!). However, the normal --fix-fixable option works most of the time and is entirely safe to use. The only thing is that you need not to have to partition you're scanning mounted, which might mean you have to boot into a rescue system using a special floppy or the DVD/CD you installed SuSE from.
