I wanted to throw in my experiences here. I've used reiserfs for over a year without any problems, both with NFS (and tar -- how could tar cause a problem?).
I use amanda for backups, amanda uses gnutar using gnutar to backup the / filesystem will oops the kernel with reiserfs-related panic.
What version of the kernel and reiserfs rpms were you using? Is this ancient history?
That particular machine was / is running SuSE 7.1 w/ 2.4.4 kernel rpm -q reiserfs gives me reiserfs-3.5.29-0 Though I think that is wrong, since I can use LFS (files over 2G) on that reiser partition, which seems to indicate I have installed a 3.6.XXX on top of that ? The kernel panics happened a few weeks ago, amd stopped when I decided not to back up that disk until I got it to ext3 again ... (it's the / partition, so if it dies, Ill install suse 7.3 and go on from there) Currently listening to: CD Audio Track 3 Gerhard, <@jasongeo.com> == The Acoustic Motorbiker == -- __O If your watch is wound, wound to run, it will =`\<, If your time is due, due to come, it will (=)/(=) Living this life, is like trying to learn latin in a chines firedrill
