After reading the namesys site and about reiser4 it sounded like something I want to experiment with. Particularly the proposed plugins and improved security features. I don't know whether ext3 is planning to do similar sorts of things.
Also copying things to another partition and then back to a reiserfs one is not such an issue for me. So I don't really care if an ext2 partition cannot be converted directly to reiserfs and back again. The main reasons I want reiserfs is the journalling and the future plugins / security features. Cheers. Mark.
