I've heard this suggested before. I don't know a whole lot
about reiserfs (but hey, thats never stopped me before!),
but it seems like an interesting concept. We at DC probably
wouldn't be able to invest any time into looking at reiserfs
unless it was part of a consulting contract, but "at a glance"
it seems like such a thing should not be much more difficult
than any other alternative storage layer for ZODB (RDBMS, etc.)
We would be more than happy to provide what guidance we can to
any enterprising Zopistas that might want to tackle such a
beast though. I know that there is at least one other alternative
storage implementation out there (Ty Sarna's BerkleyStorage), so
looking at that would probably be a good place to start for anyone
interested.
