I've been googling reiserfs on amd64 systems and have found reports that it is unstable on 2.4 kernels, but I haven't found much on 2.6 kernels. Is it stable for Breezy?

Thanks, dt

Stable for me, and I've been trying to kill it with hard-restarts ;)

It used to be unstable, but has settled down. It's now the default partition format for a couple of distros (SUSE springs to mind). It works.

Just a word of clarification:

Reiserfs (version 3) is very stable now. Reiser4 will kill an AMD64 machine. If you don't know which one it is, odds are its the stable Reiserfs.
