Yeah, me too. It's been around a lot longer than ext3, so I'm not sure about 
the maturity argument. It sits well on top of LVM, and allows on the fly 
resizing (shrinking partitions is still considered beta AFAIK, but it's never 
failed for me). I like it.

The guys at SuSE, who are obviously biased being as they have sponsored 
ReiserFS development for years now, love it. I know they have some seriously 
big RAID arrays with ReiserFS partitions. Their entire enterprise - several 
hundred people - is based around ReiserFS based servers and desktops.

Good enough for me... :o)
