That doesn't always help. I once had a ~1 meg file in the reiserfs root
filesystem which wouldn't delete but I laways got a nice oops. I reported
it to Hans and got a reply that someone would look at it bit that never
actually happened (at least got no feedback).

But that was just once. I still have everything on reiserfs on LVM on my
machines, and just started to experiment with XFS. The fact that it is not
shrinkable is a bit annoying though. Like AIX JFS. ...
