Could we please see the output of fdisk? Also what does df -i look like? Could we see the mkreiserfs command you used to create the fs?
I no longer actively use the reiserfs as the ext3 is more convenient to use and offers comparable performance and protection, but could probably help debug your problem. It was the first stable resilient fs offered for Linux and is quite mature, although I've seen fud/uninformed/confused statements about resierfs.

ope, although the file system claims its 3.6 and namesys's webpage declares that file size limits are ludicriously large, on the order of a terrabyte because of the page cache. This actually matters because in the future I might be buying myself a TV capture card, where these things matter, as I suspect you know.
So, a bit of a status update. I did as BillC suggested and made a single partition 200GB in size. Strangely, I still get the same error =(
Slightly different df though (irrelevant parts cut out):
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda1 195352432 4124212 191228220 3% /mnt/reiser
Cfdisk displays a single partition of type Linux ReiserFS, which seems appropriate. This is getting a bit annoying, copying things back and forth to test a 4 gigabyte limit. I didn't bother messing with the block size this time, and just used a straightup 'mkfs.reiserfs /dev/sda1' And I still get no space left after about 4 gigabytes!
