Over 3 months using the reiserfs patch to 2.2.14 on a 28.5G disk.  It's
stable and reliable (well, I haven't experienced any data corruption,
yet :)  but I haven't really been trying to break it.

What amazed me was the mkfs... it's quicker to make a reiser filesystem
on the entire 28.5G disk than it was to make an ext2 filesystem on a 2G
partition.  And I'm glad i don't have to wait several hours for a fsck
to complete.
