Since reiser is accused of murdering his wife, nobody maintains the fs.. :-(
Totally untrue. Many good reads on the subject out there. reiser2 is not being further developed, but the reiser4 team is very hard at work and

Not totaly, the article (nice to tell me about it ;-) shows the fear was there... This pleases me, never had any problems with reiserfs, i mostly am not realy in a hurry when booting up, so if some checking has to be done is ok with me.
Even Sun has gone away from slicing and dicing large disks into smaller ones. I've heard the arguments about accidentally erasing a partition, but they are all under / and if you rm -rf /, checkmate! I always have / and swap only, even on the largest Sun/Fujitsu SPARC Enterprise systems when I used to do Solaris installs for customers.
I myself accidentally errased a few, not nice, i agree. Not having a back-up, is lots of extra work, not to speak of unreplaceble things like family digipics...(reason to burn them from then..) But for me totaly no reason not to use them. Since there are these large disks, the reason to partition them is even more nessesary, one can now install various OS on one disk, without any problem. Cutting these OS partitions apart would seem not wanted, but i do still believe in doing exactly that ;-) I am from the time, a 500MB HDD was all I had, and the trouble i have had every day to get about 20% free space, you do not want to know... The idea of: Room enough, just throw all on it!, does not fit me. But as many men, as many opinions.. And as long as 'i' do not have to do it the way 'you' want me to, we all are happy ;-) Long live the freedom of choice!!!
What has bitten me a number of times is a faulty IDE port on a number of motherboards when all disks get clobbered, only once did I hit the enter key with, "rm -rf / <directory>" instead of "rm -rf /<directory>", CTRL-C, but lots bullets had gone before I could take my finger off the trigger and data was lost. LVM sidelines the arguments, but backups are the only insurance whatever path you choose.
Agreed...
