Would you please define "lfs-able" ? Are you saying that it somehow breaks LFS compliance, or are you just saying that there's no specifications for it?
reiserFS 3.5.X as used in kernel 2.2 doesn't support files > 2GB, it's that simple :) reiserFS 3.6.X as it's in kernel 2.4.2 does support those but there is one grave caveat: if you either create fresh 3.6 partitions or convert 3.5 to 3.6, you won't be able to install or update your system from a SuSE Linux 7.1 CD and you can't use the rescue disk from the CD. This because 7.1 uses kernel 2.2 in all boot images and thus can't handle reiserFS 3.6 partitions. As SuSE Linux 7.2 will most probably use kernel 2.4 by default, this problem will vanish. -- Penguins to save the dinosaurs -- Handelsblatt on Linux for S/390
