Frugal is a compressed file as Robert mentioned, so it can be safely kept on an ext2 partition without too much concern for corruption, since it is read-only. As Mikshaw stated, the writeable partitions can be whatever you want them to be, as long as Linux can read it and write to it. I use ext3 for my persistent /home and /opt directories in the laptop because those get written to a lot due to downloading programs to try out, and writing text files that I want to  save, etc.

If you don't mind manually adding the "reiserfs" module to you compressed initial ramdisk minirt24.gz, it is possible to have the data stored on a reiserfs partition.

But it is far easier to just use EXT2 or even FAT or FAT32 instead of reiserfs.

Besides, ext2 is much faster
