That's what I was thinking. Now that I got that straight in my head. |

I was wanting to play with reiserfs4. Where in the heck is the |
| 22 |
command? I have this: |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
root@fireball / # mk << tab twice >> |
| 25 |
mk_cmds mke2fs mkfs mkfs.ext3 |
| 26 |
mkfs.msdos mkhybrid mkmanifest mkswap |
| 27 |
mkdir mkfifo mkfs.bfs mkfs.ext4 |
| 28 |
mkfs.reiserfs mk_isdnhwdb mknod mktap |
| 29 |
mkdiskimage mkfontdir mkfs.cramfs mkfs.ext4dev |
| 30 |
mkfs.vfat mkisofs mkpasswd mktap-2.7 |
| 31 |
mkdosfs mkfontscale mkfs.ext2 mkfs.minix |
| 32 |
mkhomedir_helper mklost+found mkreiserfs mktemp |
| 33 |
root@fireball / # |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
I have reiserfs3 but I can't find 4. I didn't see anything in the man |
| 36 |
page either. I thought it may be a option like -j for ext2 or 3. |
