In defence of Reiser - what version was that? 

I had many problems with just the above in 9.3.  Once I upgraded to 10.0, the 
problems went away.

Of course, when I build my 10.2 laptop, I am using EXT3. I'm still using 
Reiser on my upgraded desktops - one of which has been running since 9.1 on 
Reiser.
