FWIW I have to agree with Rik on this matter.
Changing the on-disk format every few weeks is very counterproductive for
the people using resierfs. That is the only reason for me _not_ using
reiserfs on 100 computers @ work.
As far as I know Linus hasn't made any decision regarding this matter and
the last thing I read was that he'd like a journaling fs in the 2.4
kernel.
Kind regards
