Another reason to stay away from it is you cannot resize a reaserfs 
partition. Habitually, I set up a root, var, home and possibly one or 2 
other partitions, mainly because I hate waiting for a big partiton to fsck in 
the event my system goes down unexpectedly. Reiser does mitigate this 
though.
