Well, who cares about other distibutions? This is a
Gentoo list. OP asks about Gentoo.

Anyway. It'll be hard to find a recent distribution,
which does NOT support all of the available "standard"
filesystems (Reiser 3, XFS, ext2, ext3, JFS and maybe
even Reiser 4).

As far as age is concerned: What's older? XFS or
ext2?
