Absolutely false. Works perfectly... I have had it on several machines
for about a year with absolutely no problems .. nada. On the other hand 
UFS/softupdates is pretty reliable itself albiet a little pokier. I
haven't seen fsck in action for so long I almost forgot it existed.
Reiserfs would be nice on FreeBSD though. IBM's JFS might be even
better.
