Not until you mentioned it.  I did spend some time looking at:

How so?

Would you imagine using the reiserfs as a ZODB storage?
If one was going to use a file system as an object store, 
then the reiserfs would be attractive due to it's effective
support for small files. Is this what you had in mind?

The ZODB has a well-defined "storage interface" that should
make implementation of a reiserfs- (or just an fs-) 
based storage reasonably straightforward, although getting
transactional sematics right might be a tad tricky.
