[NTLUG:Discuss] repartitioning 2nd hard drive and formatting w/Reiser - HOW?

[Dan Carlson]

Use mkreiserfs to format a reiserfs partition.

If you have another swap partition then you don't need to create another
swap partition.

Use mount -t reiserfs /dev/hdc1 to mount the filesystem.

Edit fstab manually, using reiserfs as the filesystem type.

This all assumes that reiserfs is available in your running kernel, either
compiled in or loaded as a module.
