At work I have a 450GB Hardware RAID, Linux 2.4.14, LVM 1.0.1, SGI XFS.

reiserfs + NFS = bugs. At least in the early 2.4.x kernels.

AFAIK ext2 has a hard 2GB file size limit. With reiserfs you have to
specify an option for a newer FS format to be able to use files > 2GB.
Can't remember. I don't use reiserfs as it is incomplete i.e. no
quotas.
