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. mk

You'll need at least one partition.

I wanna run the above command but of course it won't work because people tend to create partitions which I don't want. I just want the bare drive with reiser. fdisk let's me delete partitions but it doesn't let me just specify "bare drive" upon writing a new empty partition table afaik.
