Ive been using reiser FS for a few months now.  It seems to work fine,
and as of yet i havent had any problems with it.  It is also somewhat
faster than ext2 which is an added bonus (only IDE for me.. waiting to
win the lotto for that SCSI RAID  ;)  

However, the lack of fsck is wonderful.  I only have 13 gig, but even
then with a fairly full disk fsck was a severe pain..
