I tried reiserfs a while back and quickly found I couldn't chop and change the hard drives between machines.. Switching to ext3, I found that if the drive started to die, it was still possible to recover data with a rescue system that only supported ext2.
The other advantage of ext3 filesystems is you can upgrade an ext2 partition without having to worry about reformatting first - Thus saving the chore of backing up first..
Regards, Paul.

I've found that Reiserfs is still a work in progress and isn't that hard to cause data loss on, at least in 2.4.x -- I think others on #alug have said similar things, but I forget who.
