I have been using Reiser4 as / on my laptop for a couple of years now
and have not had any serious problems that caused data loss.  I've had a
few problems here and there but they have been solved fairly quickly.
I've had to run full tree rebuilds overnight several times but never
lost anything I've missed. :)

I do run nightly backups to an external disk, that's probably why I
never lost anything.  Murphy is waiting for the external disk to fail
before he screws me. :)
