[Redhat-s390-list] reiserfs support for s/390

["Post, Mark K" <mark.post@eds.com>]

I'm working on an IBM redbook about Linux/390 distributions.  We had hoped
to have a chapter about journaling file systems in the book.  I've just
spent a very frustrating number of hours trying to get mkreiserfs to work on
a Linux/390 system, and eventually got to the point where it was spitting
out a message that big-endian architectures are not supported.  I then found
a linux-kernel mailing list posting from Alan Cox that also mentioned
reiserfs not supporting big-endian machines when Red Hat 7.1 was being
prepared for distribution.  Is that _still_ the case?  Are we (literally)
wasting our time trying to get this to work on Linux/390 at this time?
Anyone with _definite_ information about this, as opposed to "I heard
so-and-so'?

Thanks in advance.
