ReiserFS questions

6 Dec 2001

      I'm planning to give the Reiser FS a run-in (or should that be ruin?) and I 
have a few questions I'd be grateful to get advice on:

1) Is the reiser support in 7.2 (2.4.4-4GB) safe? I'm not intending to 
upgrade my kernel anytime soon.

2) How does it get set up in /etc/fstab? Is it just a matter of changing ext2 
to reiserfs?

3) What's this I hear about tail and notail modes? I notice that mkreiserfs 
has a '-v format' option which can be either 1 or 2 but it explains nothing 
about what these mean.

Thanks,
