what i have heard, ext3 = ext2 + journaling, so that when it crashes it doesn't lose data.

I, personally use ReiserFS. I don't need any of its specialty (like, the creators said reiser is great for hoping large amounts of files, like mp3 directories), i just use it because it is the oldest and is supported in the kernel and because i havn't had any problems with it.

ReiserFS

Again, ReiserFS all the way! ;)

I would recommend reiserfs just because it's the more mature.

And then there is XFS as well....

Personally, I've only used Reiserfs. I'm still trying to figure out how to convert my root partition to reiserfs. Anyone have any ideas???

Is there are way to turn my partitions from ext2 to raiserfs without having to format or lose the data some other way on them?

My understanding is that you have to copy the data onto another drive. Create the resiserfs filesystem and then copy the files back. That's what I did on the two drives I have converted.

I've heard that the resiserfs filesystem is slower than the ext2 is this true?
and what benefits are there to change to it?

Your main benefit would be that in the event of a power failure, you have a much better chance of recovering your system. That is, you don't have to run fsck whenever Linux is improperly shut down. It's really more helpful for servers.
