One of the more annoying issues that ReiserFS has is that the »reiserfsck« 
program will mistake any block on the disk that looks like a valid ReiserFS 
superblock for the start of a new filesystem. This will bite you hard if you 
have files containing file system images, which is not unusual now that 
virtualisation is widespread.

ReiserFS may have had its day but that's over (except for the shouting). I 
agree that we should remove it from the exams as soon as the default-ReiserFS 
distributions (SLES 10?) have EOL'd.
