Describing something as "absolute shit" is not a way to avoid a  
flamewar. That is like saying to somebody, "no offence, but you are  
an asshole".
What reliability problem? I have trusted nearly all of my data to  
ReiserFS since 2.4.5, and have not had a single issue. There were a  
couple specific kernels that had Reiser problems, but I never upgrade  
a kernel right away anyway on a production system. I wait a week or  
two for any issues to crop up that I might be concerned about. I have  
heard of issues with Reiser4, but nothing but FUD about Reiser3. In  
my experience, it works just fine.
I don't know if ext3 is better, but 100% reliability is hard to  
improve upon, and it seems plenty fast enough to use productively,  
which is good enough for me.
