Well,
After struggling through the first page of that thread, I'm about
ready to
give up. After weeding out the personal BS, and the 4 year old
girlish
attacks made back and forth, I have to agree with Tim and say:
"Reiser FS
is absolute shit". That goes for v3 that seems to have data stability
problems, and v4 which is redundant in coding style, and hard for the
kernel development team to read.

Steve brought up the main reason that I think Reiser sucks. The FS
shouldn't just die when hardware begins to fail. This has been
documented countless times with Reiser 3. For those waiting for
Reiser 4
to be included you might want to tell Hans Reiser to get his head
out of
his butt. The kernel developers don't seem to be very pleased with
him.
I refer you to the following Kernel Trap article:
http://kerneltrap.org/node/5679
Heck it doesn't even look as though Reiser4 will be backwards
compatible
with Reiser3, but I can't substantiate that because I'm lazy so
take it
with a grain of salt.
ReiserFS has a 2-fold problem: It eats data on failing drives and the
head developer is (seemingly) a dick.
