Re: [Sheflug] ReiserFS and ext2 fsck question.

[Barrie Bremner <nospam [at] ecosse.net>]

OK, I've got the kernel patched up and recompiled, and I'm using an old
540Mb Maxtor as a test drive (dead slow drive...2.5Mb/s :-( )

The only thing is that the drive when new seems rather full for an empty
drive - 7%!
What is it that is taking up all the space? Surely the journal can't
take up that much? Is this noticeable because the drive is so small, or
is this an issue?

I reformatted the drive as ext2 and remounted it and it reports only 1%
used for an empty drive.

[root@flux /]# mkreiserfs /dev/hda1
