I've Reiser FSized all of my systems in the past week.  I can't answer
your question but I can give a few clues.  A simple configuration
looks something like this.....

/dev/hda1        /boot    ext2
/dev/hda2        /swap
/dev/hda3        /        Reiser FS    boot lilo from the root
partition.

Boot is 23Mb, swap is 128Mb and the rest is whatever that is.  This is
for 128Mb of RAM on a PC.  That's about average for me.  

I now find that worries about my own systems and data loss have gone
away. Several pints of beer can be consumed without the fear of what's
happened whilst I've been away and when I come back everything is
fine.

Thanks
