This probably has to do with the 128GB IDE disk boundary problems that
have been recently coming about and nothing to do with Reiserfs (except
that Reiserfs gets stuck with it). What version of the linux kernel are
you using? Ie. provide some more info like what's 'uname -a' say on your
system. There's been a few patches go by this list to fix this disk size
problem. They should also be in the latest kernel releases too.
