I also miss reiserfs support under whitebox.

However, I value the work redhat has put in to Enterprise, and if they
say reiserfs is a nogo so be it ..

I needed to pull data from a failed reiserfs drive that I had been
using under redhat 8.0. As has been previously mentioned here, failing
reiserfs partitions are a dog - sometimes they can become unrecoverable.

I pulled reiserfs.o from the unsupported kernel (using rpm2cpio, and
cpio --extract) and insmod'ed it - it slipped right in.

Mounted the reiserfs partition read-only, pulled the data off fine.

Cheers,    Andy!
