Hi guys, these features are really great. Thanks a lot for adding them.
One hopes never to have to use them, but when they are needed, they are
like from heaven :-)

Does this use the "reboot Linux" exit codes that (e2)fsck uses?

codes? do you mean the code "2    - File system errors corrected, 
system should be rebooted"? Good question. No, for now it just 
suggests to umount and mount again, I should probably add this 
code also.

Why is the SuSE (even 9.0) reiserfsprogs version (reiserfs-3.6.9-33.src.rpm) 
so OLD? --- It is much slower and outdated.

I used the "latest" (3.6.11) on my older SuSE 7.3 without a hitch.
It is somewhat boring, that SuSE 9.0 is released witout 3.6.11 at least.

I couldn't compile 3.6.11 and 3.6.12-pre1 myself 'cause SuSE apply some 
patches on there source tarball.
