the on disk format of reiser 3.6 is different in the sense that it allows

with reiser 3.5 and NFS in the past, which was addressed by 3.6 on disk
format.

Will this mean that ReiserFS 3.5 users would need an mkfs for them to
migrate on the stabler 3.6 line, once they've upgraded the kernel and
the appropriate reiserfsprogs? Or is there a painless alternative?

The "appropriate reiserfsprogs" comes with a mkreiserfs which does the job
of creating a 3.6 disk format reiser fs.

What I meant was - will they need to commit an mkfs to an existing reiserfs 3.5 filesystem for them to migrate to 3.6?
