What about the fs_passno field (the final one)? Is this relevant for a JFS or should I just change it to zero?
zero means that fsck won't touch it at all. Don't do that. reiser needs an fsck pass even if it's just replaying a log.
I'll probably use the notail option given what you've said.
Only on /boot. Don't do it on /
Cheers. I'm not switching /boot to reiser, just going to migrate the other stuff bit by bit (starting with a scratch partition). I'm aware of the need to loader reiser in the ramdisk to be able to allow LILO to work with it, if I ever need to do that.
No no. having reiser in the initrd is only needed if 1) you have reiser as a module as opposed to compiled statically in the kernel (the default in suse) and 2) you have reiser on /
One other point - are there issues with dump/restore or tools like dd?
Yes, they don't work at all. There is a dump for XFS I think, but AFAIK none for reiser. Anders
