Actually reiserfs4 is well and truly out, with features like meta-data searching (think winfs) that has also started up a kernel debate if the Linux kernel should support this feature better.
Also Reiserfs does multiple streams as of v4
Very extensive info on reiserfs is here
Also of note
We must also remember Linux has,
Ext2 - a block-structured linux/unix file system.
Requires fsck when system crashes. File updates
are held in memory and are lost when machine
suddenly stops. Need to fsck to restore saneness
in filesystems. May be upgraded to EXT3.

Maybe grub cannot see the bind, it needs to see files in either your /boot
partition or directory physically. Which is logical when you think about it,
mount --bind is implemented by the Linux kernel, GRUB does not/cannot
require Linux to load. Is there any reason why you need to bind /home/boot

Yeah, the rather unfortunate fact that /boot lives about 100GB into the
disk. Actually wait a moment, does GRUB have the same limitations about
where /boot needs to be? I had assumed that it does because LILO does.
That's something to research.
LILO embeds the config file in its bootsector, while
