Reiserfs in linux kernel 2.4.19 is pretty reliable already.
Best performance is achieved with data logging patches.

They should apply cleanly, if you are worried about some offsets, this is
ok and should not concern you. (just use -s switch to patch command
to not see unneeded output ;) )

SuSE is including these into their SuSE 8.1 shipped kernels, so I guess
they are tested. Probably Chris can comment more on this.

You may need to apply 05-reiserfs_make_bad_inode.diff from 2.4.19.pending
subdir on our FTP, if you are going to use NFS off reiserfs.
