I also need to do this to /boot as I have ext2 on it and not reiserfs.
Now I need something clarifying re the replacing of ext2 with reiserfs and
what you wrote.
The statement "mount /dev/hdx"; I am lost here as thats the whole HD and not
the partition also its not mounted in /mnt/xxx its /dev/hda7 and /boot.
So what is the required statement, for me to change /boot to reiserfs as all
the rest are reiserfs. I have the /boot copied to /backup at present.
What would happen if I umount /boot amd do a:
mount -t reiserfs -o notail /dev/hda7 /boot ??
