Thanks, George.  I've downloaded and built the reiserfs tools which
are working fine. I began with a small, 100meg image file and
formatted it as reiserfs.  I was surprised to notice that  the this
newly formatted "drive" starts out with 33Meg used.  Is that overhead
usual or did I miss something?

Thanks again,
Bill
