i have been working on integrating reiserfs support into the
boot-floppies.
it was suggested to me to make reiserfs a module, suitable for use with
initrd, instead of yes another flavour.
i am personally opposed to making yet another flavour, because that adds
more complications to the end user (further confusion as to which boot
disks to grab)
i like even less the idea of initrd
1) that would require all of our kernels to have the reiserfs
patch (this will be a non-issue for 2.4.1 and above)
2) i don't like initrd.
i am testing my patches against the CVS tree snapshot as of Feb 9
14:07, PST. after i am certain things are good, i will make the
patchfiles available.
i am quite uncertain how to go about placing the patches into the main
CVS tree, but i will worry about that one a bit later.

some areas to be worked on:
when making a reiserfs partition, there is no badblock scan, and
the user must answer yes to the mkreiserfs program (no --force
option)
