has improved a lot since the VFS changes moved all the furniture to the
left side of the room, but there are currently problems with NFS support.

I tried yesterday 2.6.14 with reiser4 patch from namesys, it's build into
the kernel as I use it for / so I didn't applied module patch, I had
oopses during compile/heavy usage so I switched back to 2.6.13, it's
perfectly stable. Good thing that reiser4 is data lose proof, I had power
losts, kernel oopses, hard locks but I never lost a single file, that
makes testing reiser4 quite safe now (I had corrupted r4 partitions but
that was way back in the past, once it was caused by repacker).
Any news about inclusion to vanilla? I didn't noticed any new email about
current status for some time.

I've had 0 issues (well, if the interactivity problem isn't counted)
with amd64 and my TB NFS/r4 mount. I've been consistantly upgrading
with the -mm.

Yes, the older reiser4 was better.  Well, let us hope a few weeks pass
and it all gets more stable, sigh.

Can anyone give me a feel for how reliable you consider the Reiser 4
file system to be?

I installed it on my laptop awhile ago and it seemed ok (I removed it
in the end as it was while you were having performance issues with it
[or rather with it interacting with some kernel change]).

I see a number of reliability problems posted to the list, but of
course the list is the place these things are aggregated so it is
perhaps not the best source of information for this.

I'm using it on my workstation for more than a year - for now without a
problem.
I guess for desktop system is stable enough..

I use it on my desktop and a few servers, some since early 2005. Never
caused me serious trouble (save for the major performance regression
late 2005 - early 2006).

Reiserfs (v3) also never let me down.
