I'd like to install Linux in two places with ReiserFS as root. The reason is that the hard-disk I am going to use is 15 GB, and running ext2.fsck on it will take 15 minutes or so, which is unacceptable. ReiserFS OTOH has journalling so it will be better. Now, I have a RH6.1 CD at home, but I

the need to install patches as soon as they are available, and the delay of Mandrake in providing the wu-ftpd patch looked very bad. The shortest but most practical response I received, was from Izar: I used ReiserFS off a Mandrake box over NFS. It didn't work well, but it worked.

I'm a little confused. So many people repeat what I've already known for a long time - that ReiserFS is much better than all the others, in almost any aspect. On the other hand, there is still no clear answer regarding NFS support, and a file-system without NFS support, is like nothing. IIRC
