Question about reiserFS

[Daedra]

ok ive got reiserFS patched into my kernel and now im wondering how do i go about changing my linux partiton...

/dev/sdb1 / ext2 defaults 1 1

if i change it wont it have to be formatted and all data loss? is there a way to convert to resierfs with out losing data

thanks http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/smile.gif

Sorry but if you want to use reiserfs on your current ext2 partition, you must reformat it to use reiserfs and that means data loss if you don't back up.So be careful.

You could also mount reiserfs partition under different name and copy your data there and remount it as / after ,of course you'd need a spare partition to do this.Hope this helps.
