It definitely works with 2.4.x, I'm running pre-11 at the moment.

Coda definitely does NOT work with reiserfs. The Coda kernel module
keeps a reference to the inode, while reiserfs performs it's journalling
on the file release. After venus passes the inode nr to the kernel, it
closes the file, so ReiserFS logs that 0 bytes were written.

However, reiser should work fine for read-only access.

So your problem is possibly the volume creation problem in 5.3.12,
(acl's don't get sorted correctly). Could you try to connect to
testserver.coda.cs.cmu.edu.
