I ran mkreiserfs on that device. What is the size of this device that I have created? Once I mount the device and use df, the size of the device is greater than that of the ext2 partition in which I created the device. Here is the ouput of df /dev/hda9 3.4G 2.0G 1.4G 58% / none 62M 0 61M 0% /dev/shm /dev/hda1 3.7G 2.4G 1.3G 63% /mnt/win_c /dev/hda5 3.4G 2.5G 992M 72% /mnt/win_d /dev/hda6 2.9G 2.2G 826M 73% /mnt/win_e /dev/hda7 2.9G 2.1G 862M 72% /mnt/win_f /dev/hda10 2.2G 818M 1.2G 39% /natarajan /natarajan/reiser.fs 3.7G 33M 3.6G 1% /natarajan/mount -- Natarajan - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
