I went through the same process, and it had worked once in the past, but it did

Everything seems to be good so far - image installation went without a hitch

I'm curious if you would be able to use reiserfs (or jfs or xfs) and make full

The main reason I'm going through this exercise (exorcise?) is to move from
reiserfs (3) to ext3. I am very relieved to have found this solution.
