Sergey,

Exactly what I said.  At the time the book was being written, there were
_unofficial_ patches to Reiserfs to allow it to work on big-endian systems,
but nothing in the offical source tree that the author was maintaining.  As
a result, we did not test Reiserfs.  We didn't want to get into a very long
explanation of how to download source and patches from multiple places,
merge them together, compile them, and hoped everything worked.  That was a
little too risky for us to recommend (or even show as an example).

Mark, could you explain me that? I have Reiserfs on my Soft. RAID-0
(2*3390-3) and i don't have problem. Yet :)


WBR, Sergey
