Besides system setup information I sent to Andrei, in all servers /boot
is located at /dev/sda2 and formatted with ext2 filesystem.

I really wonder the future of ReiserFS. I don't follow kernel related
improvements (and discussions) that much, but I still don't have a
reliable information about the development issues with ReiserFS.
Somebody is saying something, and another one is duplicating it --
without giving a single grain of thought -- to others and so on. But
AFAIK, there still isn't any official (you know what I mean by
_official_) explanation related with ReiserFS. Yep, Hans Reiser did some
nasty things. But would development of Linux stop if Linus Torvalds gets
in some sort of trouble, e.g. arrested?

I dunno. I still think EXT3 as an ancient technology supported by major
IT companies. And people tend to swim in the direction of the flow, no
matter if it's right or wrong.
