I don't think that reiserfs journalling semantics are simple enough to be replicated by a journalled block device... that's my guess, I'm just a user, not a developer. Alas... well, maybe I'm wrong. If instead of opening and closing transactions in reiserfs journal it would be calling jfs transaction boundaries, maybe it's the same. Does reiserfs do any more magic in its journalling than simpky journal metadata block-writing? If it would be able to use jbd layer, then I assume some of the journal code could be put away (ie: dumped), at least in linux kernel tree (is there reiserfs for other platforms at all?).
