For me it is because I don't have to worry about a 3 hour startup
cycle aver 22 restarts or whatever the timeout is with ext3. That is
pretty much my only reason for using Reiser3.


That's your only reason? I have other reasons, mainly performance. I
just did a quick and dirty "what the heck" filesystem performance test
on my OS10.3 workstation at home, where I use reiserfs, but also have
ext3 and xfs test partitions.

The test simply consisted of timing the copy of a dvd image to another
partition.

The results are:

copy to ext3:
real 7m52.656s
user 0m0.268s
sys 0m20.870s

copy to xfs:
real 3m40.490s
user 0m0.213s
sys 0m12.132s

copy to reiser:
real 3m23.966s
user 0m0.226s
sys 0m19.417s

bleh, ext3 took over twice as long as either reiser or xfs.

Confirms my gut feel about the performance of the one (and probably only
ever) ext3 partition which I set up as a bit of an experiment.
