However, I've seen that some people had issues a few years ago with ReiserFS (which I'm using, too). Now, I'm wondering if anybody using ReiserFS had system freezes as well.
I had issues, and I'm still using Reiser3 for my video storage.
On slow platforms, with a stressed out file system, Reiser may be CPU-limited on throughput. But you have to run VDR for a long time with disk almost full, and with lots of recordings coming and going to get that level of fragmentation. And I'm not convinced that other file systems would do better in these situations.
Beside that, Reiser3 works fine for me. No total freezes I know of.
Maybe you should mount reiserfs with the "notail" option for video-partitions, which should kill most of the overhead. I run reiserfs with vdr since 10 years or so, no problems at all even when running in 100% used diskspace often.
