Let me turn this one around. When I set up my laptop with SuSE 8.0, I used Reiser. However, I found I had some file system corruption. With ext[23] you can do a file system repair on the root file system (while in single user mode setting the file system to read-only). You cannot do this with Reiser. I recently discovered that my memory expansion module was bad, which I am surmising might be the cause of the corruption problem. I have just got another laptop, and I will be formatting it as ext3.
I had a failing hard disk and on that hard disk was a ReiserFS partition. The partition became corrupt and I used the reiserfsck program to recover 90% of the data before the whole hard drive finally died.
