Reiserfs doesn't suffer from log congestion either, you can effectively use it for quickly creating a 100,000 entry directory, and it is fairly unique in that." {freshmeat}
~ Can someone, please, point me to a "How to" Convert an existing system, to REISERFS . . . is this 1) Dangerous 2) Possible ?
It is not dangerous, since it is not possible. You need to reformat and install from scratch or restore the proviously made backup. It is not possible to convert ext2 to ReiserFS on the fly. If you cannot reformat, you might want to try ext3 instead, but I don't know, if it is already usable.
