I'm having a problem exporting Reiser4 over NFS, and Vladimir thought it possible that the problem has been rooted in endianness. He sent me a patch that tries to expose the problem, and one of the cases got fired. Maybe you could both talk - I mean Paavo and Vladimir - coordinate about the problem, since I'm not in a position to help you beyond having a workstation and embedded PowerPC targets, where I can test things.
