hi

i converted my filesystem from ext2 to reiserfs,
this is what i did:

mkfs.reiserfs /dev/hdb5
mount /dev/hdb5 /misc

and it worked.  too easy...have I missed anything
or am I good to go?

BTW the partition type is still type 83 (Linux).
Do i need to change this?

(background as to why i needed to convert: 
the partition is being used as
a backup mirror containing massive amounts
of hard links and ext3/ext2 just keeps getting
corrupted and i always ended up with a damaged
filesystem every now and then--becomes
unusuable after about a month.  so now i try
reiserfs).
