I recently, with the aid of several reiserfs experts from this group, added a journal file system to my SuSE 7.3 ext2 file system which is now working very well. After research and curiosity on my part I now understand my changes have not created a true reiserfs file system but retains the structure of the original ext2, adding a journaling file which facilitates a rapid recovery from a damaged file system, plus probably some improved performance. Now my question: If my assumptions and conclusions are essentially correct, will my file system be able to maintain its' integrity? If not, will I be able to use the original fsck structure to repair it since I apparently cannot use the reiserfs command as It is not a true reiserfs file system? I thought I better ask now while I have a properly operating system, BEFORE I place my extensive data storage at risk due to ignorance on my part. Thank you in advance.
