Well my "strange thing" invloved the client (the machine mounting NFS from
a NFS/Reiserfs) having 5min lockups... get the nfs patches and It goes
away (so i'm told).

As long as you have NFS patches installed on your kernel your OK. If not
NFS will be a total dog / broken with reiserfs. goto
http://nfs.sourceforge.net/ to get the nfs patches...

Yes, including on install (just set the partition type to ``Reiserfs'' and it
all works). I've not lost a partition yet and some of the machines I've
installed with it get very clumsily treated.

Two caveats, Reiser will not format tiny (<16MB) partitions such as are often
used for /boot (in which case use ext2 and mount it readonly) and you lose quota
support and a few other things on the Reiser partitions.

We have a 100GB server here via nfs and reiserfs which works almost
fine (but some time it does strange thing).

Yes, our main machine is using reiserfs and there are many NFS mounts on
it.

Anyone on the list using reiser with NFS?  It's really sketchy from the
wreiser website if it's safe to use it with NFS or not.  What i know is
that ext3 and NFS _are_ compatible.  Can't Mandrake include a kernel with
ext3 also included?

Yes it works. I use it. I'd recomend against it though. It's not fast, is
still not production quality, and unless your system is crashing all the
time its unneeded

ReiserFS is fine for me. I just wish I could say the same for Mandrake
(release, not beta), which missed out the small detail of installing a
kernel...
