Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Reiserfs root can be done.
Had / running with reiserfs for quite a while now. It's great.
No problems so far.
You will have to rebuild your kernel with reiserfs inlined.
It's a bit hard to load the requisite module if the kernel doesn't know the filesystem type to read for obtaining the modules and root filesystem.
I got caught out by that problem and unfortunately forgot to have a backup arrangement.
Fortunately it was sorted out with some juggling.
You could be daring and run with devfs as well.
Again no problems and very easy with Debian :)
New I know.
But I haven't gotten around to doing all the work needed to get root on it.

The kernel's got reiser inline now.. But clearing / and then moving it back will require some thought.

And I was just told by our resident Linux Zealot (working on the Linux Virtual Server) that he moved everything this weekend to ext3, and that converted without reformatting.

Hrrrrm.

New I'm running out of bleeding edge options :)
It looks like it's time to convert my old ext2 partition to ext3.
It gets a bit dull when the bleeding edge starts stabilising...:(
Reiserfs has been rather lacking in showstoppers for quite some time :(
Though I'm still having trouble running VMware on my 2.4 system. It worked before :(
If I can get it sorted out I might consider paying for registration.
New All the bleeding edge you could ever want

New That's been the biggest reason I've waited.
I have too much stuff to back off and then restore easily. But if ext3 can convert without reformatting...
