Well, after nervously googling my way for the past couple of days, I finally got up the nerve to convert my ext2 partitions to Reiser. And lo and behold, three hours later, everything works! Almost. When I go to reboot, it says "reiserfs: Unrecognized mount options" and upon rebooting it checks the transaction log. /etc/fstab is as follows: /dev/hda6 / reiserfs defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 /dev/hda7 /usr/local reiserfs defaults 0 2 Oh, yes, everything is tabbed spaced (I had to cut things short in this message, for obvious reasons.) Well, I think that's it for one day, though. If anyone would like to know how I did it, I would be happy to post my steps. :Peter
