It seems that the bug has been found. https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/28/1
Kernel versions 3.4, 3.5, 3.6 have the bug. Kernels 3.2 and 3.3 are ok. Slackware-14.0 uses kernel 3.2.29 which is fine. (Note that the bug was not added in any stable kernel iterations 3.4.x or 3.6.x. It was already in the original 3.4.) |
From another of Eric's posts in the thread linked to by Petri:

I'll mark this as SOLVED. Anyone using sensible mount-options won't be hitting this. |

ReiserFS used to be good, but in recent kernels it has both momentary data corruption and performance problems. http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...xt4-4175425294 These problems went away when I switched to ext4. Since not many people use or care about ReiserFS, its quality has gone down hill. Ed |

ReiserFS is working fine on this system I have now (ASUS M5A97LE R2.0, AMD Athlon II X2 260, 4GB RAM) and on my old system (ASRock A770DE+, AMD Athlon II X2 250, 2GB RAM which I gave to my 73 year old mom as *her* old system was a P-3!). I've yet, in all these years of reiserFS use exclusively had a problem with it. I'll keep using it until the day it *does* start to screw up, but in thirteen years this month (so far) it hasn't and it is nice and stable and takes the beatings of power outages and brown-outs extremely well, imho.

I've used it on External Drives quite a bit. Never lost data. Even on crap hardware with dying controllers, it recovered. I'd use it before I'd ever go back to NTFS. |
