Software raid and ReiserFS are incompatible as far as I know - something
to
do with the way they are implimented which conflicts - and there are no
plans
to change this situation, unfortunately. This at least was the situation
when
I talked with Hans Rejser at a conference in Germany last september and
had not changed the last time I looked. He had however some plans to
impliment
mirroring in their code but no raid-5.
Anyone know about ext3? It should not have as many problems as ReiserFS
as it
is implimented at a higher level.
