I have been using it for for almost 3 years now. It has never let me down unlike some of the other journaling filesystems. No corrupt superblock like jfs. Kinda slow for small files when the parttions reach around 80% full. Plus its sure to piss SCO off:) but for video editing or files over 100kb it can't be beat. Reiserfs is great for directories like/var since 2.4.18 but I have lost too much data in the past to the bugger.
Your media needs to be vaccuum sealed with a dessicant bag or two inside and placed in the deep freeze below 0 F. The cold (and darkness) helps preserve the polymers used in the cd's. You have to slowly warm them though when you need your info. I have worked in the coatings industry for 14 years and I havent' noticed any degradation. Heck even pigments don't degrade in the cold. White pigments won't even yellow. Our color standards are kept that way as well.
