If you are going to put reiserfs on a block device, it is not overly cautious
to erase the block device, to avoid (reiserfsck --rebuild-tree) from
performing necromancy.
One more reason not to use ReiserFS. The fact it was created by a convicted
murderer being the big one, obviously.
AKA /argumentum ad Hitlerum/. Hitler was a vegetarian, so
vegetarianism is wrong.
Long before that, when Reiser was
the hype, I never jumped on the bandwagon. I stuck with EXT2 until moving
most things to XFS.
And when your machine crashes with unflushed data still in cache,
splat goes your xfs partition. Been there, seen that.
