It my understanding from ReiserFS documentation that there is an option
setable at compile time which affects NFS operation. Due to NFS making a buggy
assumption about directory handles or something like that. The option must be
set correctly if you export a ReiserFS partition with NFS.
Xavier, on the small chance that you are patching/compiling ReiserFS yourself
you should investigate further.
Otherwise, MandrakeSoft should check for this option being set correctly.
