You can find many people against, and many for it.

Not exactly a large journal. But yes, there is a minimun size for a
reiserfs parttition. I use ext2 for /boot.

xfs is very good for large files. Some people recomend it for the /home
directory. I use it for DVDs as well.

It is normal to do a fast test of reiserfs partitions during boot, and
