What host OS?
What version/snapshot of the coLinux binaries?
What root filesystem?

I was able to successfully use reiserfs using a pre-built bundle.

Here's what I did:

- installed the bundle.  See "Installing coLinux-20040429 with TAP  
networking on Windows 2000":
   http://www.colinux.org/wiki/index.php/PreBuiltBundles
- ran the script to upgrade from woody to sarge:
    
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/ 
index.php?func=detail&aid=950624&group_id=98788&atid=622065
- installed reiserfs:
   apt-get update
   apt-get install reiserfsprogs
- tested reiserfs using the loopback device:
   dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/rfs bs=1M count=0 seek=50
   losetup /dev/loop0 /tmp/rfs
   echo y | mkfs.reiserfs /dev/loop0
   mkdir /mnt/rfs
   mount /dev/loop0 /mnt/rfs

Seemed to work:
  # mount
  /dev/cobd0 on / type ext2 (rw)
  proc on /proc type proc (rw)
  devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
  tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
  /dev/loop0 on /mnt/rfs type reiserfs (rw)

Of course, since I do not have a native partition that is Reiser, I  
could not test that.  Let us know what you try and how things go.
