Yes, something along the lines of: |
| 7 |
find /boot -type f -print0 | xargs -0 --no-run-if-empty touch |

If you like reiser'd boot, the notail thing is a minor issue. In fact, |
| 10 |
adding notail can make reiser faster as the expense of storage space (but |
| 11 |
you'd loose that storage space to any other filesystem anyway...) |
| 12 |
|

*I* run ext2/3 on boot because when I installed I didn't know 2 things (1) |
| 14 |
notail makes grub work or (2) you can tell reiser to use less than 33M for |
| 15 |
journal. Also, it can make some system recovery easier -- since ext2/3 is |
| 16 |
the most widely built-in filesystem, among linux kernels. |
