And that's exactly what I did. I have a small 7.8MB /boot partition up near the front of my hard drive, a 128M swap, and then a 3.6GB / partition. I got concerned when I saw a post earlier today that said some data recovery utility worked only on ext2 partitions. The short wait when Linux has to do a fsck on reboot isn't really that annoying for me, but I can see how it would be a pain on large partitions. I just didn't want to lock myself out of a data recovery or rescue situation. Jerry "Thomas, Gregory (NBC, KNBC)" wrote:

I disagree, I think it's wonderful. I installed on my mum's system because I knew (despite instructions to the contrary) she would just power off when it didn't do what she wanted it to do. Sure enough she does. The reiserfs? It barely skips a beat on rebooting and comes up as if nothing happened. That's worth a lot to the errant home user... no more lengthy fsck-ing about! And no tech support worries for me.
Your comments made me want to try it. Did you use SuSE 7 for this? Is it any harder to install/set up than if you use the regular filesystem?
It's just as easy or even easier to setup than ext2. In 6.4 it was best to put /boot onto an ext2 partition but that wasn't even necessary I think if you mounted with the the notail option (don't take my word for that, though, I just setup a small /boot partition on ext2, reiser is not meant for small partitions).
