Its nice to see all this information in 1 place.
There are a couple of small corrections I would make. First, the article states to avoid riserfs if cross platform portability is needed. This should be cross OS portability. Linux is a cross platform OS, and I dont think you would have any problem moving a reiserfs disk from a Linux/sparc machine to say a Linux/x86 machine.
Also, the article states a couple of times that JFS comes from AIX by way of OS/2. I believe that the JFS code for AIX and OS/2 are not related to each other, and that Linux version is derived from the OS/2 version. I am not sure about this, but it is an important detail to get right, given the litigation going on right now.
