Well, not in production yet, but on my machine running a copy of our
message switch on a reiser partition. I currently have a "stuck on
TLB" (if I remember the error correctly) but this is not reiser
specific (and a patch exists which I have to try when I get time).

Hmm, pulling plug, no, but the machine has hung up 2 or 3 times while
trying out pre versions of 2.2 Linux and has come up without any
problems.

We have just ordered 2 new servers and I am going to put reiserfs and
RAID through its paces, try pulling a disk while running, pulling the
power, etc. to get a good idea of what can go wrong and whats needed
to fix it.

I suggest you try something similar before going to production.

Sincerely,
