Roger that last observation :-). I have been having problems w/ ReiserFS & NFS (twixt a SuSE 9.2 box & some SGI's) for a few weeks now, though they *might* be calming down a bit (after some apparently prescient recommendations from TheBS :-) ) ....
A lot of people request that I cite various documentation on this stuff. I can't. Occasionally I'll find a vendor's bug report on various things, but outside of maybe Red Hat (who has always come under a lot of fire for heavily patching the kernel), a lot of vendors just blame things on the kernel support and refuse to address it in their distros.
That's why I have only experience to go on. And multi-TB support is not something I put my faith in under Linux. Especially not when various geometry, structure and other issues keep creeping up, have to have workaround for, only to repeat themselves in various kernel/filesystem implementations.
Knowlege acquired from hard experience doesn't need to be cited, especially when it proves to be correct :-).
