    Hi Guys,

            I'm trying to see if I can play around with Reiserfs. I have an
    additional unpartitioned space which I would like to store small files (eg..
    Text Howtos, web pages, pdf docs pics etc)

    I was thinking of trying out reisersfs for the 1st time.
    (was using ext3 all the while)

    I tried mkreiserfs /dev/hda8 (new partition) but then a
    warning came out that my reiseifsprog is either too old
     or is only suitable for 2.2 or 2.4 kernel.

    I went to namesys.com to download a new one but found out
    that reiserfs is only EXPERIMENTAL for 2.6 kernel. (though it states
     reiserfs4, which is a new version) what about the existing reiserfs?
    (version 3??)

    If anyone know.. please pass on the knowledge to me.

    Cheers, .^.
