I understand that, I'm asking about how to change filesystems from ext2
to reiserfs - I realize that will erase the drive. I need to know if
there is an option, at this time, to create the reiser filesystem during
formatting of a hard drive. Since it will be the slave drive, I will
not be losing my /root filesystem, just adding a reiser support to my
storage drive.
Thanks, Mike
