Yep ReiserFS would thrash my drive... horribly!  And there seemed to be a some 
sort of bug in the kernel (suse modified) or perhaps something else that was 
ancillary to it - After a few updates (noted when I returned to openSuSE) that 
this wasn't and issue - Frankly, my take was 11.1 was pushed out the door 
before it was ready. Just MHO!
