Can one install/get reiserfs _after_ the installation of Fedora? I am
adding a disk for audio and video files and I'd like to use the reiserfs
file system. However, when I installed, I did not say "linux reiserfs".
All the howtos I've found so far about using the reiserfs start with
"linux reiserfs".

Thanks!

Yes it should be possible if resierfs-utils and necessary dependencies
are installed.

yum install reiserfs-utils

and then look at mkfs
