I've got 36 gig (2 physical drives) of desktop on reiserfs, 
starting with /, using kernel 2.4.3. Before that, I had 
everything except root on it using kernel 2.2.17. It has yet to 
give me a moments grief and several times has saved my cookies 
when I made an id10t exit during a mental  eclipse.

My son says he recently had a problem with it. However, he was 
muckin about in the kernel at the time so, much as I love my 
son, I doubt if the previously stable reiserfs was actually the 
source of the problem. :-)
