Reiserfs (v3) only does metadata journalling by default. That means that the filesystem will always be consistent, but you may still get data loss. In order to make sure you don't have any data loss, you should use Chris Mason's data logging patches[1], and add either "data=ordered" or "data=logging" to your filesystem options. (Chris said that data=ordered would be default eventually, but I'm not sure if that has happened yet.)
