ey, i'd like to see it in the kernel too, i have seen people have issues, and people have also told me that i should be scared of losing my data, i have been using reiser4 since 2.6.5, and i have had servers running it (well not any servers with extremely high load though), and my workstation has it on a partition where i keep misc stuff, and this is also where i do alot of conversions of movies, with transcode, and alot other stuff, so it sure has alot activity, however, not a single problem... i think its perfectly fine enough to go into the kernel, atleast as marked EXPERIMENTAL, i would rather place my data on reiser4, than ext3, according to my experiences (and i do this too)
