Um, he is arrogant and antagonistic. On the LKML lists he consistently refuses to answer technical questions or discuss legitimate concerns, but instead avoids them and falls back on insults and flames.
ReiserFS does not scale and it is not reliable. It does well as long as it's not stressed, but under stress it falls apart. We've been testing Reiser, XFS, JFS, and Ext3 for a couple of years, and all the longevity tests favor Ext3. All the speed and shiny new features in the world don't matter if the filesystem is fragile, and I'm afraid that Reiser is too fragile for heavy-duty use. Mr. Reiser does not help by being obstructive and denying that problems exist.
