reformatting disk into 4 * reiser4 partitions

reformatting disk into 4 * reiser4 partitions

[doiggl]

Hello,
How do I reformat this disk into say 4 * reiser4 partitions of 500gb each.
?
I need command to do this please.
The disk size is the following
I will remove the current partition on the disk first, one large partion.
Is 500gb a size that Reiser4 will handle ok ?
Thanks Glenn

Disk /dev/sdb: 2000.4 GB, 2000398934016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 243201 cylinders, total 3907029168 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x00000000

"reformat"? I think you mean "partition", no? In that case, use GNU 
parted to partition the disk in 4 parts. Then, use mkfs.reiser4 on each of 
those partitions.

I sure hope so :-)
