Can I use ext3 and reiserfs on the same box? I've set up my
second disk to use reiserfs but my main disk is ext2, thought
about converting it to ext3 since that would be easier than
re-installing... but I'm not sure if this is a good idea. It
make more sense to just re-install slack on my main disk with
reiserfs.
