    Yes I was running reiserfs before 2.2.1 and I switched to 2.2.1 a couple
    months ago. Since then I've been dealing with issues. I've had to
    recompile half a dozen things similar to sendmail, apache etc. They
    segfaulted. It wasn't as purely backward compatible as expected.

    I typically compile everything on one machine and distribute it. Thus
    far everything has been ok save a few issues I haven't been able to pin
    down. One of these issues is the inability to compile mozilla. Also
    related, I can't recompile gcc 2.95.2.

    All of these things I was able to do just fine before the changeover.
    To note, I used to cvs up mozilla and recompile it every few days. I
    suppose I'll build an ext2 system and try things out.

    Oh btw, I don't run That distribution either.
