Is reiserfs ready for production use yet?  I have a need for
something like that on linux right NOW.  And I'd love to keep as much
of my current project on linux as possible.  If reiserfs isn't ready,
is TuxFS? Ext3FS?  Anything else for linux?

At home I have a 44 GB disk mounted and made with ext2
and at work I have a 1.05 TB disk array that at one time was mounted
with
no problems after doing a mke2fs -m0 to it.
I have done this with ext2, reiserfs, and BSD ffs, and all of them
worked fine for > 1TB sizes.

LVM or the raidtools will let you combine drives in linux.

The limit isn't normally size, but how many drives you can have
in an array/pool set.

YMMV.
