Reiser's personal issues are strange, however I don't think that this is relevant for the file system. Reiser3 is stable and working fine in my eyes, even though it has a bad reputation because of some early bugs. Reiser4 sounds like an excellent performer on the parallel-recording task, and its very sad that Reiser4 is waiting for kernel integration for several years now. Hopefully the remaining developers continue on it. Ext3 by the way is one of the slowest on parallel-recording, one of the reasons why ext4 is on heavy development. If you really want to avoid Reiser3, I'd suggest XFS or other high performing journaling FS'. Cheers, Udo
