i just wanted to bring back this thread from the dead. i just changed my gentoo box's fs from ext3 to reiserfs, and i had an incredible increase in performance. no one ever made an attempt after mcomb patched up the hijack kernel source to 2.2.17, which according to this post, fixed whatever drakino encountered assuming that all the x86 code was also modified.

is it feasable to attempt this again with hijack installed? would be awesome to be able to take advantage of this awesome fs. time to bust out the crosscompiler.
