Changes

The database (i.e. datafiles, including archive and redo logs), either entirely or partially, reside on a Reiser filesystem.
The /bin/mount command confirms that one or more filesystems containing Oracle datafiles are of Reiser filesystem type e.g.

[root@proddb01 ~]# mount -t reiserfs
/dev/sda1 on /u01/oracle type reiserfs (rw)
/dev/sdb1 on /u02/oracle/archive/PROD type reiserfs (rw)
/dev/sdc1 on /u03/redo/dbredo01 type reiserfs (rw)
/dev/sdd1 on /u04/data/db01 type reiserfs (rw)
/dev/sde1 on /u05/data/db02 type reiserfs (rw)
