Well, I can't say either way on ReiserFS, but yes, I have recovered Ext3
after massive physical disk errors. That's why I've trusted it.
I think ReiserFS does an admirable job with its journaling. The kernel

off-line tools. I've just had massive issues with them, because the
internal structure changes by design.
