Your information must be wrong.
Reiserfs works very well with nfs since a long time ago.
I don't know the exact kernel version but the nfs bugs
were ironed out in the early 2.4.x kernel series.
I haven't tried the combination Linux - FreeBSD, though.

 where did you read this?

Thanks for the quick reply Hans.

I read about it searching the FreeBSD lists after
I had trouble mounting my FreeBSD filesystem, but I
didn't pursue it very far. Does nfs work with UFS
in the current version?

(I am pretty new to journalled filesystems on linux, 
just learning my way around)

Hello,

If you don't use BSD flock() nor O_EXCL in a dotlocking scheme, there shouldn't be any
problem with NFS linux server and BSD client.

Thanks,

Philippe

FreeBSD 4.8 as NFS client doesn't do any locking at all.

O_EXCL doesn't work across NFS anyways, workaround: use mkstemp(2) and
link(2).
