DESCRIPTION
        It creates a Linux Reiserfs file system on a device  (usu­
        ally a disk partition).
 
        device is  the  special  file  corresponding to the device
               (e.g /dev/hdXX for IDE disk partition or  /dev/sdXX
               for SCSI disk partition).
 
        block-count
               is  the number of blocks on the device. If omitted,
               it will be determined by mkreiserfs  automatically.
