   reiserfs 3.6.2 (linux kernel 2.3.51) is available for download from:
   ftp://ftp.devlinux.com/pub/namesys/2.3-beta/linux-2.3.51-reiserfs-3.6.2-patch.gz

 ...

   Please send any bug reports to reiserfs@devlinux.com

It seems that the bitmaps are not handled in an endian-neutral
manner, so a reiserfs filesystem cannot be moved between a big
and little endian machine.

It seems to handle endianness just fine for other on-disk data
structure, just bitmaps are not handled correctly. See ext2
for how this can be solved.
