reiserfs
I have looked at the various file system stuff for comparison. I have been using Reiserfs for some time now and had, until recently, no problems.
?s
Are Xfs and Jfs still too new to use?
I have used ext3 for my / partition. But I can't remember who told me I should do that or why. Is it a good idea or is Reiserfs fine.
(Other partitions are /swap, /usr, and /home. swap as swap, and the others are reiserfs.)

What problems exactly?

No, they are quite mature filesystems and finally well integrated into the linux kernel.

Ext3 is slower as far as I know. Reiserfs is quite stable.
I've had the feeling that JFS was faster when it comes to accessing larger files and reading large directories, I mean with many files.
I have never actually tried ext3 but have read that it has many problems as well and is quite slow. The On-disk-layout is very old already.

Ooh, almost FUD! I remember reading a sound-recording HOWTO suggesting ext2 was slow, but I use it on all my machines, I've had no problems with it, and I've seen no speed problems attributable to the filesystem

An old article at freshmeat.net:

But still applies.
