OpenSUSE 10.2 will no longer user ReiserFS as its default filesystem. "We've been using ReiserFS as our default installation file system for the last 6-7 years now, and it's served us well in that time. Unfortunately, there are a number of problems with it, some purely technical, some more related to maintenance. I'll outline a few of the larger issues and offer my solution as a conclusion."

...but ReiserFS kept destroying my data while ext3 never failed once. So I'd say ext3 is way beyond relatively safe.
You hear various stories like this from people about all filesystems - ext3 destroyed my data, Reiser destroyed my data, XFS destroyed my data....... They're utterly meaningless.
They're generally made by people who get paranoid about what happens if they have a power failure, and they pull the power cord on their machine to test it and whinge when it doesn't come back up. Such comments don't apply.
