    Re: Thoughts on dropping ReiserFS support

    ReiserFS was conceived as a replacement for ext2. It was faster in some circumstances but had issues with corruption.

    Not possible. Only way is that each hard disk would require its own Windows bootloader and select boot order in bios at boot time. Have you thought about using virtual machines?
