mkreiserfs - create a Linux Reiserfs file system

SYNOPSIS
mkreiserfs [ -h r5 | tea | rupasov ] [ -v 1 | 2 ] [ -q ] device [ size-in-blocks ]

DESCRIPTION
It creates a Linux Reiserfs file system on a device (usually a disk partition).

device
    is the special file corresponding to the device (e.g /dev/hdXX for IDE disk partition or /dev/sdXX for SCSI disk partition).

block-count
    is the number of blocks on the device. If omitted, it will be determined by mkreiserfs automatically.

OPTIONS

-h r5 | tea | rupasov
    This specifies the name of hash function file names in directories will be sorted with. Choose one of the above. 'r5' is default.

-v 1 | 2
    This specifies format new filsystem has to be of.

-q  This makes the progress bar much less verbose. Useful when logged in via a slow link (e.g. serial console).
