AFAIK, ReiserFS is not endian-safe. Ext3 might be and IBM's JFS as well as SGI's
XFS are in the work (check on penguinppc.org). The only bothering thing is that
the most advanced (in terms of nearing release quality) is ReiserFS, and it's
not supported...
But there seems to be other problems with it anyways.
You might want to look at TuxFS as well, lame name, but the theory seems
interesting (eg. it is not a journaling filesystem, but provides the same
advantages).
