So I loaded 13.1 beta1 and pulled a "zipper dup". Here are my initial observations.
1. No more reiserfs! The package is still there.
It probably is, but the choice to use it did not present itself in the install partitioner. If you can't select it there, what are your options if you want your system partitions to be reiserfs?
2. The installer complains about using XFS on the boot partition Which seems correct. XFS cannot be combined with PBR if you chose to use that. In addition, there is a track record of GRUB1 failing to load the stage2 file (possibly due to delayed allocation).
After being burned by trying to use reiserfs on a bootable partition many years ago, I've taken to creating a small /boot partition formatted with ext2 to remove any potential issues. I wasn't able to do that this time because of the software capacity calculation issue I also reported. I don't mind writing these things up more thoroughly for Bugzilla, but I want to document more carefully and I only have console access to the system during the work week.
