If you have an ext2 partition, you can make that partition reserfs. The issue is that you copy the contents of the partition to a temp location, run mkresierfs, and copy the crap back. There are new and improved tools being developed now to make the transition easier. So, if someone were to ask ME, I would say yes, you can convert an ext2 to reiser, no problem. Also, reiser is a beta fs. Although I have run it for 6 months, I still do not put my file system on it. It is great, however for mass storage. Ext2 takes 22 minutes to do e2fsck on 2 15G drives, reiser takes 22 seconds! If you don't have a commercial system, and want that nervous, fuzzy feeling about using bleeding edge developments, go for it. Otherwise, just stick to the old ext2 and be happy.
