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  (usu­
       ally 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.

       -q     This  makes  the  progress  bar  much less verbose.
