Just one little question: WHY do you want to do this??? From my personal experience: ext3 is _much_ better than reiserfs! Its backward compatible, so you can easily fix it with ext2-tools, which isn't the case with reiserfs and which is the reason why I switched from reiserfs to ext3 as my reiserfs had faults no one could repair... Try to mount reiserfs with an 2.2 kernel of an rescue disc. Maybe this is the start of the next flamewar...(Vi is better than emacs;-) Arnold -- Get my public-key from pgp.mit.edu or pgp.uni-mainz.de --- Hi, I am a .signature virus.
