The space added to a kernel for ext2 is *much* less than the overhead of using a journaling file system for /boot. You're wasting exponentially more space using reiser on /boot. The same would be true if you were using ext3, which is why you always see us suggesting using ext2 for boot. -- Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering - Strategic Lead x86 Architecture Team Games - Developer Gentoo Linux
