They are, albiet slowly, working on "fixing" reiserfs. iirc, the only real
problem with reiserfs on ppc is that x86 won't be able to read the image, and
quite possibly later on when it does work, you'll have to reformat[*]. If you
have some time, reiserfs' test-suite (mongo.sh, run for 24hrs) is on the web
site someplace...
[*] SuSE/PPC will be shipping with reiserfs, so they just might be stuck into
providing an easy upgrade path (prolly the same, dangerous, way ext2 did tho
:( )
