Also ext2 and ext3 support 64-bit filesizes just fine and have done
so for years. They are very stable filesystems, while reiser is
experimental. Reiser can be unstable (I've seen filesystems go
up in smoke) and it *especially* has problems with being exported
over the network. My advice: do not use reiserfs.
