As far as reiserfs is concerned, there are major problems with NFS interactions and reiserfs filesystems on unpatched kernels less than (IIRC) 2.4.9. I think you can possibly get away with 2.4.5 if it's patched correctly. You will need to make sure your NFS/LTSP server is running a kernel that does not have the interaction problem any longer or switch to serving the NFS filesystem from an ext2 filesystem (haven't tried ext3 yet to know if it has any problems, although I don't see why it would).
