Hello, - I rebooted and now 'modprobe -v reiser4' now shows activity: # modprobe -v reiser4 insmod /lib/modules/2.6.25.9-0.2-default/kernel/lib/zlib_deflate/zlib_deflate.ko insmod /lib/modules/2.6.25.9-0.2-default/kernel/lib/lzo/lzo_compress.ko insmod /lib/modules/2.6.25.9-0.2-default/kernel/lib/lzo/lzo_decompress.ko insmod /lib/modules/2.6.25.9-0.2-default/weak-updates/reiser4.ko -- Next my blank disk shows up as /dev/sda .This is unformatted. So I tried formatting it,and got the following error: # mkfs.reiser4 -o create=ccreg40 /dev/sda mkfs.reiser4 1.0.6 Copyright (C) 2001-2005 by Hans Reiser, licensing governed by reiser4progs/COPYING.

Error: Device /dev/sda is an entire harddrive, not just one partition. -- So next I created an extended partition (entire disk) it with YAST,that worked, named /dev/sda1 -- Next I tried to create a reiser4 filesystem on /dev/sda1 , and failed. # mkfs.reiser4 -o create=ccreg40 /dev/sda1 mkfs.reiser4 1.0.6 Copyright (C) 2001-2005 by Hans Reiser, licensing governed by reiser4progs/COPYING.

Reiser4 is going to be created on /dev/sda1. (Yes/No): y Error: Requested filesystem size (0) is too small. Reiser4 required minimal size 25 blocks long. Error: Can't create filesystem on /dev/sda1. # mkfs.reiser4 -V mkfs.reiser4 1.0.6 The commands I used both failed. Question: How do I format (say 10GB) size part of the disk with mkfs.reiser4 with compression as well and what am I missing from the command ? Thankyou Glenn > Jeff Wrote > Ok...
