Never heard that. I've been using qmail over reiserfs for quite a long time now with
kernel 2.2.17. What you had to do was to patch the kernel and fine-tune the qmail
conf-* files before compile. But that's another story.
Qmail works independent from underlaying filesystem (of course there are possible I/O
bottlenecks and reliabylity problems but that's another issue).

So it seems you don't have to patch the kernel sources anymore :)

There's no such thing. Please take a look at:

Also search the mailing list archives (http://www-archive.ornl.gov:8000) as this issue
has been raised before.
