Well, I have used ext3, xfs and reiserfs regularly. On my web server I 
am running reiserfs, on a file server here we are running reiserfs and 
on my machine at home I am running XFS. All have been trouble free for 
me. My web server has been up for almost a year, the file server is 
hammered pretty good and my machine at home has only been up for a 
month, but it is doing pretty good too.

On a side note, my Indigo2 Solid Impact just showed up. So I am happy. 
Now I need ram.
