Erm, ...
i think reiserfs is i386 only right now anyway, ...
(well they have test version running on alpha, but that is little endian too.
maybe jfs (ibm, so ti should run on ppc ?) or xfs (sgi, so it should run on
mips) are safer bets for an endian clear jounraling fs ? Still it is said that
jfs is not ready at all, and that xfs is not as advanced as reiserfs. Don't
know about ext3 though.
