I keep hearing that, but for over 1 1/2 years I had one big / on
ReiserFS. No problems.
There is no issue with '/' with XFS, but the

The ready made kernel-2.4.18.13mdk wouldn't fit, but recompiled,
optimizing only for k7 (ie, still usin the default Mandrake .config),
then 'mkbootdisk $(uname -r)' was successful. ?? I've currently got
one big / XFS partition ... and a boot floppy ;)
FWIW, if y'all try this, I believe -13mdk is the last Mandrake
kernel that'll compile usin gcc 2.96. >= -14mdk needs gcc3, current
kernels need gcc 3.1
