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."

We also have had quite a few bad issues with reiserfs and we decided now to use ext3 instead. Since then, we haven't seen that kind of numbers of failures.
To us, it was not 'meaningless' - really reiserfs was not useable in our cases.
Similar reports were discussed some time ago with someone who worked for a large european aviation carrier that run linux for some large scale databases. He asked me what I thought of it -- told our damaged data and he said "pheww, we're not the only ones who experience this".
