I just did this, but I did it the easy way.  I created a new partition with 
Reiserfs, mounted it, copied everything with rsync -av, then remounted the 
new one where the old one was.  Worked first time.

I even went and tried out the GUI mount tool supplied by Mandrake.  It worked 
great, so I never did edit my /etc/fstab.
