Parent article: Filesystems (ext3, reiser, xfs, jfs) comparison on Debian Etch (Debian Administration)

so you are saying that reiserfs knows better then the admin. personally I won't use software that decides it knows what I should do better then I do (good defaults are one thing, engineering the product to not allow for choice in another)

you are overlooking the fatal flaw with rebuild tree, namely it grabs ALL blocks that look like they are reiserfs tree blocks, unfortunantly with loop mounted filesystems you can have many filesystems on one partition (the main one, and then the ones that are images in files), rebuild tree will try to combine them all.

Since it is an optional feature, and you are not required to use it, I do
not see the problem.
