don't bother, reiserfs does not work on either 64 bit or big endian
archechures.  (basically anything but x86)

From the FAQ at namesys I understand that ReiserFS works on alpha.
Alpha is as 64bit as it gets....
Not only has is sizeof(void *)==8, but even sizeof(bool) is 8 :-)
(imagine that: using 64 bits to store a single one!)
ok maybe they fixed the 64 bit issues, it used to not even be 64bit
clean.  but it most certainly not endian clean, it only works on little
endian archetectures which rules out sparc and powerpc.
