I've been running reiserfs with 2.4.3 on a /doc partition which basically houses my mp3s - so it's constantly being accessed - for a couple of weeks, with no difficulties. That's not exactly heavy useage though. On Monday 30 April 2001 16:49, Karsten M. Self wrote: > on Sun, Apr 29, 2001 at 10:

the problem being, I have the following partitions: /dev/hda swap /mnt/win (fat32) / (ext2) /doc (reiserfs) /dev/hdb going to be a FreeBSD installation. so can that be done? It seems to me - not easily :) But is there a way of doing it before installing?
