Except for the /boot partition, reiserfs should work properly with
selinux=0 added to the bootloader. Reiserfs 4 is supposed to be able to
handle SELinux, reiserfs current has no way to store selinux file content.
The issue requiring an ext3 /boot partition is related to grub capabilities.
XFS, I have not tried. I believe an ext3 /boot partition is best for
this filesystem choice. I do not know if SELinux content can be stored
in XFS efficiently.
