reiserfs works fine with drbd.

Well, except that drbd isn't yet available for 2.4, or is it?

A journaled-filesystem doesn't add protection to your application data, but
protects its own metadata structures against crash-related inconsistencies.

That _will_ (as a result) also help protect your data against being lost, but
doesn't guarantee that your application data will always be in a consistent
state.

(I am sure you knew that, I just felt like adding the paragraph, because too
many people believe in magic ;)
