writing a spec file who don't enable by default ext3 is easy add a
kernel with ext3 is doable (but ugly) make a cohabitation of ext3 and
reiserfs is not adviced (name conflict and not tested). So the
solution would be :

wait for kernel24 and put as default a new journalising fs (xfs come

don't think is a good idea .
the rpm package is correct .

the thing we want is the ext3fs since is compatible with the ext2 and have 
the journalization so don't need (like reizerfs) a fsck check .

If that was software RAID, that's a known problem: ReiserFS and software
RAID both change part of the kernel, and they don't play nicely together
yet.

> switched to ext2 and it's 100% stable now,

Of course. ext2 isn't journalled, so it doesn't trigger the known problems
with the current RAID code.

> also reiser seems to not support quota

Quota support needs an extra patch, available from the WWW site.

> nor file attributes with chattr.

Of course not. File attributes are ext2, so ReiserFS isn't supposed to
support them. You'll find them missing from NFS, coda and devfs too :)

Yeah, and don't expect anybody to fund any cool projects (and reiserfs 
is a cool and much needed project) anymore if you deny the funder the
simple right to advertise his generousity.

I suppose also when you need medical help you won't be doing it in any

Nobody is asking for another kernel, just the inclusion of a feature in the
current one.

In fact, "another" kernel is the LAST thing needed. I don't want to see
new features being mutually exclusive, I want one kernel with the
features in!
