AFAIK the ReiserFS is not mountable (e.g. not even read only) when it is
corrupted (which might happen after a system crash). The only way to
rescue such a system would be with the help of the rescue disk, which
gives you much less tools than a small root partition. Therefore you don't
want a ReiserFS root partition.
