Damned. You are right ..
After rm /etc/mtab and reboot:
/dev/hda2 on / type reiserfs (rw,noatime,usrquota,grpquota)
/dev/hda3 on /www type reiserfs (rw,noatime,usrquota,grpquota)
/dev/hda5 on /tmp type reiserfs (rw,noatime,usrquota,grpquota)
/dev/hda6 on /var type reiserfs (rw,noatime,usrquota,grpquota)

I owe you a beer Oleg!

Btw, quota works (just tested it).

Thanks!!
