I run reiser for a newsspool and it performs OK. However I had lots of

OK, let me add my 2 cents here. On Red Hat I've had trouble with reiser in
powerfail situations. Not too much, but there has been incidents. I haven't
tried Fedora, and to be honest, I simply don't see the point as the bad
things I've heard about it far outweighs the good things.
On SUSE I've had spectacular power failures and fluctuations and some clients
refuse to get a UPS - even with power failures in some areas averaging four
or five a day and getting worse as the winter approaches. One such client is
more down than up, their server was SUSE 8.0 Pro, I upgraded it to 9.2 in
January. They run everything off it, the two 7200rpm IDE discs are running
at near full capacity (kernel based raid-1). Both 8.0 and 9.2 has reiser,
and I have not had a single corruption.
So I guess it depends on the implementation and what sort of options they the
distro uses, but that one single case is enough to sold me. In any ways,
for this big imap implementation, I'll have decent UPS and backup generators
at my disposal.
