RE: Mounting Reiser_FS

["Noah K Sematimba" <ksemat at ksemat.co.ug>]

No. I think what he is trying to say is that he wanted to mount his SuSE
reiserfs partition under FreeBSD. Just like you would want to mount your
NTFS windows partition under linux or something similar.

Not install FreeBSD on a reiserfs or something like that :-)
Anyway from what I can see on the web, FreeBSD does not support
reiserfs. It does however support ext2 so you may have to think of
re-installing your SuSE linux with ext2 as your filesystem.

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.
