Hi,
I am trying to create a reiserfs filesystem using the
command
'mkreiserfs /dev/loop/0 100'.
It always gives me the error
"reiserfs_create: no enough blocks on device".
I tried altering the block size, but it would not
help..
thx in advance
Sankarshana M

You can't make a reiserfs filesystem smaller than about 40MB.

Experimentally I found that the smallest size of reiserfs is 531 blocks. It will have 512 block of journal.
mkreiserfs-3.6.17 -s 512 /dev/hdb11 531
