2) ReiserFS has been on SuSE since 6.4 and, for example, is being used in production where I work. It's been up since Sept 17,2000 without a crash or data loss. And, my Microsurf co-workers insist on rebooting it every week in order to use Norton's Ghost to mirror the HD. That's 28 reboots without a failure. (I wish they'd have used a Linux backup utility like tar, but they carry with them a distrust of software stability earned through long experience with WinXX.
Does ReiserFS serve NFS files yet? I can't - not won't, but can't - use it until it does. And I mean reliably, not some hack.
Yes. Reiser has been serving NFS files pretty well w/ 2.2 kernels. 2.4 broke, but the 2.4.3 I downloaded from Suses site (a develop/beta kernel) works very well. I guess you'll have to wait till suse 7.2 (or get that download kernel). And yes, I know all about xfs, it's very good, very reliable on IRIX. However I have had rather bad experiences trying to get any tech support from SGI on their Linux boxen. Still if/when XFS is out there, it will be a viable alternative for Reiser. And I'd be more than happy to stresstest both side by side on some of my machines here ;)
