I'm running Reiser in my current install, but I know full well that if I
have a hard drive blip I'll lose everything.

EXT3's main advantage is that you can convert an existing EXT2 partition
to it without data loss.

Reiser is supposedly the fastest jfs, but on a home/office machine with
a typical hard drive, I doubt that the speed difference will be noticeable.

I have not tried XFS but have heard that it's rock-solid. Does it have a
fsck or fix option of some sort?
