Yep, Ive had the same experience with Reiser.
Im suprised noone has mentioned that XFS uses lots of caching and so would
be good but only if your server is on a UPS or has redundant power
supplies.
And forget about NTFS.
Technical arguments aside, if you're serious about data loss and/or
performance, you would be using hardware RAID anyway. 3ware cards are
pretty cheap and the extra money is well worth it for peace of mind.
