Thanks all for the replies.

Maybe I was just trying to do too much on my laptop. I see the following warnings in the powersave documentation:

Suspend To Ram ###############################################
### BIG FAT WARNING BIG FAT WARNING BIG FAT ###
###############################################
severe file system corruption may occur which means: DANGER, DATA LOSS AHEAD.
Please back up important data before trying  suspend to RAM. In my experience,
once you have found a setting that works, it is not dangerous at all, but
you should keep an eye open. Use at your own risk.    
suspend to RAM with ACPI (S3) is still very experimental, but there are several machines that are known to work. There are several "hacks" that can be tried to actually get the machine to resume (suspend is usually not the problem, just the resume ;-)  
I will use ext3 on my replacement hard drive.

Thanks,
-Michael

We have approx 100 customers running Oracle 9i or 10g database
on SLES - nearly all of them with ReiserFS. We only had issues
with ReiserFS when hardware was failing but we never lost any
data without having a hardware problem.
