Why not update to more modern FSes like BTRFS, XFS, or ZFS? BTRFS, in particular, is pretty heavily inspired by Reiser.

I'm not entirely sure what's gained by asking a candidate about FAT16.

Is XFS stable ? I tried reiserfs, jfs and xfs at the beginning and stuck with jfs because reiserfs would eat a lot of processor power and xfs would not run fsck when the power got interrupted which resulted in a corrupted filesystem.

It was added to the kernel in 2004. It's stable. That being said, IMO, BTRFS and ZFS are better file systems.
