So true. The ONLY advatage I can see using it on ANY partition is it's fast recovery time when when you do go down unexpectedly. For small partitions I don't even bother with it. Anything over 2gb it's well worth it though.
Why not bother? Are there disadvantages to Reiser FS?
Only that it's not as reliable as ext2. I upgraded my 2.4.3 kernel to 2.4.5 over the weekend and got a couple of oopses when unmounting ReiserFS partitions within the first 5 minutes. I rapidly backed out. That's why the kernel experimental flag is still set I suppose!
