Then make sure you have reiserfsprogs too.  You'll need them.

I've never tried using ReiserFS on Potato, though, so I don't know if you can.  If you have a 2.4 kernel working, I'd think you're golden though.

You might need to get a Woody source package for reiserfsprogs and compile it under Potato.

Wish I knew.  You can upgrade to ext3 seamlessly.  I run it on my root and reiserfs on my other disk.  I haven't had any problems with either under 2.4.6 or 2.4.9 running Woody.  I just installed 2.4.10, so I'll have to see.
