Alright...

When was "last time"?

I have three boxes running Reiser4 for everything except /boot, and no
problems yet, except an occasional missing feature, like a
repacker/resizer. One's a Pentium 3, the other two are amd64s.

I've had a total of one crash each on the amd64s, and one of those was
while playing a game, and could easily have been the nvidia drivers. I
can't reproduce the other one, and the box has been fine since -- and
both amd64s are overclocked by 600 mhz, so I have a sneaking suspicion
that it might have been hardware.

No crashes yet on the Pentium 3, which isn't overclocked at all.

No lost data yet either, in fact, I recovered from an essential 'rm -rf'
of a Reiser4 partition, so I could even say Reiser4 (or rather,
fsck.reiser4) has *found* data for me.



For a long time, it's been painfully obvious that the reasons Reiser4
isn't in the kernel all have to do with things like coding style and
politics. At this point, if I tried to do anything more than be an
active user, I'd be so far out of my depth I'd need a life jacket.
