reiserfs is unsupported in Red Hat Linux and upgrades of reiserfs on top
of RAID won't work due to how we do sniffing of filesystems on RAID.  If
someone is interested in implementing this, take a look at
anaconda/partedUtils.py:sniffFilesystemType().  You should be able to
add reiserfs detection at the end of the function where it says it
should be done and then make an update disk to add the support.  
Patches accepted in bugzilla :)
