Actually more like 4. The reiser with 7.2 is fine and will work with 8.0,
but the Reiser in 8.0 will not work with 2.2 kernels. In each of the two
versions, there are mount options that affect the fundamental data storage
pattern -- notail and default. The difference is that notail is faster and
much less storage efficient on lots of small files, and it also appears to be
much more stable. Default install is -notail in the mount for / and /boot
and default for all others. Once mounted one way and data is stored, a mount
the other way hoses everything. And even so, reiser is probably less
complicated than XFS or JFS.
