ReiserFS in SuSE 7.0 still has a 2Gb file-limit. ext2 does not. ( I tested this and verified ) Does someone know if this is to change ?

The reiserfs 3.6.X for kernel 2.4 does support files > 2GB and will convert 3.5.X partitions when mounting them with the 'conv' option. A backport of 3.6.X to 2.2.X *is* on the todo list of the reiserfs coders, but I have no knowledge when it'll be done/released.

Also, does someone know if there are plans for reiserfs support in dump ?

Yepp, that's also on the list :)

How do you take backups of a reiserfs partition ??

Tar or cpio.
