How do you set up ReiserFS on an allready set up machine? Is it possible? Is there a way to convert an ext2 partition to reiser?

as with setting up any new filesystem, it is my understanding that you have to format (data loss). I could be wrong, so you may want to wait for another reply :)

I don't think there is a way you can do it. I was readin the documentation for parted the other day and it can't do much with reiserfs.

in case you don't know, parted implements a lot of the features of partition magic.....except free

www.namesys.com (http://www.namesys.com) or www.reiserfs.org (http://www.reiserfs.org) should have all the answers to your question...
