One thing to check out is the block copying capability. I was on the Mandrake
crashtesting list while they were running the Reiserfs and jfs for 8.1. IIRC,
both systems could be broken by large (100Mb+) copying. They were up to
kernel 2.4.12. Standard installs broke. Reiser could be installed in a
nonstandard way which allocated more space, and jfs was dropped because we
could break it, and there was nothing could be done about it..
