["Purple Shirt" <purpleshirt@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't believe it. I have a machine here which has the following df:

/dev/hda1    /                   reiserfs
/dev/hdb     /usr/local/ftp/pub  ext2

The drive was a new drive (hdb) and never had a partition table on it. I 
figure new drives can be turned into partition less drives but once you got 
a table written you must use one unless you low level format it again? I 
never had a partition table on this hdb drive and had it as well once in 
reiserfs format so it must work.
