Moving to reiserfs with kernel 2.4.3

[Alex Suzuki <asuzuki@bluewin.ch>]

Hello everybody,

I've just a small question: Why, are there reiserfs-patches for 2.4.x
kernels, whereas reiserfs since 2.4.1? I'm using 2.4.3 and a quick

asuzuki@duron:/usr/src/linux$ cat .config | grep REISER

reveals

CONFIG_REISERFS_FS=y
# CONFIG_REISERFS_CHECK is not set

which are clearly reiserfs options. Then of course I need
reiserfsprogs which I have installed using
apt-get install reiserfsprogs

What are the next steps to move to reiserfs as root filesystem? Is
there a good howto around?

Can I just cp -a the whole root to another spare filesystem,
reformat / to reiserfs and then copy it back?

Thanks for any help/suggestions/flames :)
