Is there any problem with putting Reiser on everything BUT the /boot
partition?
My employer is going to start developing using Red Hat Linux, and because of
the environment the computers will be running in, a filesystem like ReiserFS
will have definate advantages. I personally have had more experience with
other distributions, such as Suse and LM, and I've seen the advantages of
ReiserFS for fsck speed.

Well, for my experience I believe this is a wise choice. I have TRIED
installing it on many types of systems. Most work, many had minor
problems, and some had really serious problems. For one example that
should make you think twice is the fact that for VIA chipsets you have a
good chance of filesystem corruption (this is VIA's fault, but things like
having SB Live installed and reiser fs make thinks much worst... weirest
thing I have seen). I have actually expecience corruption. Also, it can be
hard to the average user to set it up so that even the boot partition is
reiser. On one system, it refused to work with reiser fs on the /boot
partition. Sometimes it can act strange also, like right now I have a
directory that has a 1G file in it. However, when I do a du, it reports a
2T! WOW! I still have to figure that one out.One last thing (there are
more), is that things like fs check don't work. Ones I had a problem (with
the newest verstion) cand ran fs check for reisers and got a completely
messed up filesystem. I admit, I push the suckers and most of the time no
one should have any problems. In fact, I love reisers and that is all I
use (except for some boot partitions that are ext2).
