i run reiserfs on a few systems, 3 of them are on 220GB partitions(raid10 arrays). what i do is download the kernelsource and patches that i like, install them. compile the utils (they are included with the patches) and copy them to /sbin. reboot with new kernel and mount away..or mkreiserfs on some drive to use it. ive done it on 4 or 5 different potato systems and 1 woody system. all on kernel 2.2.19 i wont go near 2.4.x for another year or so. its waaaaaaaaaay too iffy for my tastes. nate
