Just wondering...is it possible to format and partion an external USB drive to ReiserFS (thus bypassing fatx limitations). I want to use the drive to store large downloads (torrent, usenet etc.) and share the drive with XP machines thru samba.
This way I don't have to go through all the trouble of converting my current E install to native, just for longer filenames.
Is this all possible?
ps: what are the commands to format and partition a disk?

These are covered in the Native tutorial, amongst others......ps: what are the commands to format and partition a disk?
Go fully native, it's the destiny of all Mk1 Xboxes
