NAME
reiserfs -- Reiser file system SYNOPSIS
To link into the kernel: options REISERFS To load as a kernel loadable module: kldload reiserfs DESCRIPTION
The reiserfs driver will permit the FreeBSD kernel to access ReiserFS file systems. EXAMPLES
To mount a reiserfs volume located on /dev/ada1s1: mount -t reiserfs /dev/ada1s1 /mnt SEE ALSO
nmount(2), unmount(2), fstab(5), mount(8) HISTORY
The reiserfs file system support first appeared in FreeBSD 6.0. AUTHORS
The ReiserFS kernel implementation was written by Hans Reiser and ported to FreeBSD by Jean-Sebastien Pedron <dumbbell@FreeBSD.org>. This manual page was written by Craig Rodrigues <rodrigc@FreeBSD.org>. CAVEATS
Currently, only read-only access is supported for ReiserFS volumes, writing to a volume is not supported. BSD

RESIZE_REISERFS(8)					      System Manager's Manual						RESIZE_REISERFS(8)

NAME
resize_reiserfs - resizer tool for the ReiserFS filesystem SYNOPSIS
resize_reiserfs [ -s [+|-]size[K|M|G] ] [ -j dev ] [ -fqv ] device DESCRIPTION
The resize_reiserfs tool resizes an unmounted reiserfs file system. It enlarges or shrinks an reiserfs file system located on a device so that it will have size bytes or size=old_size +(-) size bytes if the + or - prefix is used. If the -s option is not specified, the filesystem will be resized to fill the given device. The size parameter may have one of the optional modifiers K, M, G, which means the size parameter is given in kilo-, mega-, gigabytes respectively. The resize_reiserfs program does not manipulate the size of the device. If you wish to enlarge a filesystem, you must make sure you expand the underlying device first. This can be done using cfdisk(8) for partitions, by deleting the partition and recreating it with a larger size (assuming there is free space after the partition in question). Make sure you re-create it with the same starting disk cylinder as before! Otherwise, the resize operation will certainly not work, and you may lose your entire filesystem. The resize_reiserfs program allows to grow a reiserfs on-line if there is a free space on block device. If you wish to shrink a reiserfs partition, first use resize_reiserfs to shrink the file system. You may then use cfdisk(8) to shrink the device. When shrinking the size of the device, make sure you do not make it smaller than the reduced size of the reiserfs filesystem. OPTIONS
-s [+|-]size Set the new size in bytes. -j dev Set the journal device name. -f Force, do not perform checks. -q Do not print anything but error messages. -v Turn on extra progress status messages (default). RETURN VALUES
0 Resizing successful. -1 Resizing not successful. EXAMPLES
The following example shows how to test resize_reiserfs. Suppose 2Gb reiserfs filesystem is created on the device /dev/hda8 and is mounted on /mnt. For shrinking the device we need to unmount it first, then run resize_reiserfs with a size parameter (in this case -1Gb): df umount /mnt resize_reiserfs -s -1G /dev/hda8 mount /dev/hda8 /mnt df /mnt AUTHOR

Convert filesystem from reiserfs to ext2

Hi, My current linux server's filesystems is reiserfs. Unfortunately I need to enable quota for my users and as far as I know quota won't run on reiserfs. So, can I convert the filesystem types to ext2 from reiserfs without having to re-install my o/s? Or, is there any quota applications... (1 Reply)
