RE: Mounting Reiser_FS

["Mark Tinka" <mtinka at africaonline.co.ug>]

Aaaah, you want to run FreeBSD on ReiserFS? Please confirm.

Can't say for sure if you can, I thought ReiserFS was for Linux. Please
correct me if I am wrong, but FreeBSD's native file system is UFS, no?

Thanks buddy, however my SuSE is already formated for reiserfs and is
running fine. I am having no problems with the SuSE itself but the fact
that FreeBSD does not recognise the reiserfs and I don't seem to have
the option to compile it in the kernel.
