yaboot 1.2.3 merged the reiserfs patches, but keep in mind that its
the same reiserfs code that is in grub and grub i

And, iirc, this should also make it easier to add in support for other
filesystems as well. Not that I've looked at it recently..

You definitely need an ext2 /boot. I keep mine mounted read-only, to
avoid the need for fsck.

That is infact, what I am trying to do.

My flying monkeys guess is that it will compare favorably to xfs, in
other words, similar excellent performance and stability, but with a
kernel bloat price. these days 256MB of memory is $40US, so do we
care? maybe: memory for older machines is not trivial to get and
not as cheap.
