I'm curious what version of grub caused you to come to these
conclusions. Grub has been using the REISERFS_IOC_UNPACK ioctl for ages.
It's the same thing lilo uses and causes those files to only use
indirect blocks (ie: no tails). If you've been running into this problem
with any recent version of grub, it's a bug.
