 DevFS is now in the kernel.  See Documentation/filesystems/devfs/* in

-System V shared memory is now implemented via a virtual filesystem.
-You do not have to mount it to use it. SYSV shared memory limits are
-set via /proc/sys/kernel/shm{max,all,mni}.  You should mount the

-
-none		/dev/shm	shm		defaults	0 0

-Remember to create the directory that you intend to mount shm on if
-necessary (The entry is automagically created if you use devfs). You
-can set limits for the number of blocks and inodes used by the

 The Logical Volume Manager (LVM) is now in the kernel.  If you want to
 use this, you'll need to install the necessary LVM toolset.

 debugfs.  Obviously, it's a good idea to upgrade.
 
+Reiserfsprogs

+The reiserfsprogs package should be used for reiserfs-3.6.x
+(Linux kernels 2.4.x). It is a combined package and contains working
+versions of mkreiserfs, resize_reiserfs, debugreiserfs and
+reiserfsck. These utils work on both i386 and alpha platforms.
