If you can reproduce a bug on the current version of reiserfs, please do so and
report it. I think you'd rather throw mud though. We have a bug report
regarding postgresql we haven't investigated yet. We have another bug regarding
knfsd, which isn't stable for ext2 either last I heard (though there is a patch
floating around which may improve things I hear.) We have lots of users using
ReiserFS quite happily (e.g. Source Forge is reiserfs, MP3.com is reiserfs, they
are quite happy with us). Maybe if you used ReiserFS rather than saying these
things without using it, you'd know we aren't "half finished".
