New I thought Andy Grygus had some comments about it...
I have vague recollections that he'd read that Caldera said reiserfs can have problems with file corruption under very heavy load. But I've not been able to find anything to back up that recollection... I didn't see anything on [link|http://www.aaxnet.com|[link|http://www.aaxnet.com|http://www.aaxnet.com]] about reiserfs.

Everything else I've read about it has been amazingly positive. No personal experience though...

Cheers,
Scott.

New This was brought up . .
. . at a Caldera reseller briefing which outlined Caldera's marketing strategy and was followed with a tech session explaining the inner working of the Linux Kernel Personality structure for Open Unix.

During the market strategy session they used reiserfs as an example of why Caldera has prominently labeled certain Linux components as "experimental" while other distributions do not label them so clearly.

The statement was that Caldera engineers had found reiserfs can result in data corruption under very heavy loads. The implication was that the conditions were unusual, but might be encountered in very intense business server applications.
