how to create Reiserfs partition
Hi,
I have this huge bug in my head that can't make me to understand how to create an reiserfs partion over the rest of my harddrive. =) I have compiled reiserfs into the kernel and when i write fdisk -l i get the following result: Code:
mysrv:~# fdisk -l How do I do that? I have mkreiserfs and all of the other tools. Thankfull for help. -- Rincewind |
Just like that. You create the partition using
fdisk (cfdisk, ...) and assign it the type of 83, then you use mkreiserfs to create the file-system on it mkreiserfs /dev/<your partition> Cheers, Tink |
Code:
fdisk /dev/hda y [return] |
linux doesn't even care what the partition type is. you can format any partition as reiserfs or ext2, and use it. windows uses it though. seriously. you can make it any type at all, and format it as reiserfs, as long as you have fstab pointing in the right place, it will work. just don't make it extended or bsd or solaris. those would be treated differently. i typed that just so you would know the partition type really isn't important.
just to confuse the crap out of people on this site, you could make a big type 82 partition, and format it as reiserfs, and make make a small type 83, and mkswap on it. it would work fine and you could confuse everybody to no end. |
