I just installed a 120 gig drive. All went well. I want to put a reiserfs
file system on it. I plan on using one big partition. This be will mainly
for backing up my other computers (guess who just had a crash?). I did
put a "small" partition in the first 1023 cylinders, just so I could
use it for a boot drive if I had to.
I see a lot of options with mkfs.reiserfs.
-b | --block-size N size of file-system block, in bytes
-j | --journal-device FILE path to separate device to hold journal
-s | --journal-size N size of the journal in blocks
-o | --journal-offset N offset of the journal from the start of
the separate device, in blocks
-t | --transaction-max-size N maximal size of transaction, in blocks
-h | --hash rupasov|tea|r5 hash function to use by default
-u | --uuid UUID store UUID in the superblock
-l | --label LABEL store LABEL in the superblock
--format 3.5|3.6 old 3.5 format or newer 3.6
-f | --force specified once, make mkreiserfs the whole
disk, not block device or mounted
partition
specified twice, do not ask for confirmation
-d | --debug print debugging information during mkreiser
-V print version and exit
Are any of them necessary?
Thanks,
Joel
