Bryan,
Just a word about this. Concensys, which sells the Raidzone servers
you might have seen advertised in Linux Journal, uses a Reiser FS on its
raid
servers. We have four of them and they've functioned quite well.
Note, though,
that right now they are running Red Hat 6.1 (6.2 scheduled, I
believe). They've
updated the reiserfs a couple of times, but that was because of NFS
problems.
So though I can't speak to your specific problem, I can tell you that
resiser FS with some flaver of RH Linux works perfectly well, and it
sure is a
please to have such a fast reboot.
(We have 5 RaidZone servers, 2 nominal 400gb and 3 nominal 800 gb.
Problems with OSX abound.)
