So the message you get from the script is a bit misleading. > 1) where is $FSTYPE defined? i simply can't find where it is defined.

Either compile it into the kernel, or make sure the module gets loaded properly. Or simply use a well known filesystem, it's still not clear wether reiser4 will make it into the kernel any time soon or not at all. HTH...
