Losing data. I use it on some data partitions (it's a
harddisk that I migrated from an x86). I can't tell about
any errors yet, but probably it's different on
boot-partitions.

You can try it, but on your own risk. We are not
responsible for lost data.

I'm using XFS on my ppc-systems as the main Filesystem.
It's really stable and has also several improvements like
ReiserFS.

Hi,

I'm using ReiserFS on my PowerBook for about a year (/home and /).
I don't have any problems yet and i even did some resizing and moving.
