Uhm, sorry, but I don't know. I opened the box, I installed the
Distribution, I added a kernel with ReiserFS support, set up a
partition. Voila. I got no warning messages or errors. Just data
corruption. If it does depend on it (I would say so as the database
supports transactions with ACID capabilities), then it should fail on
ReiserFS.

I will prepare a test case shortly.

Henning
