Stopped using it because it was not entirely stable, and apart from that it is nice to have a boot partition that can be accessed with a rescue disk that doesn't have Reiser4 support, so I now use ext2 for /boot. See: http://sys-admin.org/Reiser4-Gentoo-Sources.html for instructions, on the bottom of the page there are some notes on Grub. http://gentoo-overlays.zugaina.org/zen-overlay/portage/sys-boot/grub-reiser4/grub-reiser4-0.97.20050808.ebuild for an ebuild http://ftp.icm.edu.pl/packages/linux-reiserfs/reiser4progs/ for a patch on grub 0.97 (original location was ftp://ftp.namesys.com/pub/reiser4progs/ ) Cheers, Arend
