Comment 16 for bug 67130

That's odd, I see no option to format as reiserfs on that page.

I can create a reiserfs at the command line and the ubiquity manual partition page lists it as reiserfs, but when I try to format it, as the workaround suggests, there are options for nearly every file system except reiserfs. (Even xfs, but not reiserfs.) Will the option show up after I delete the existing reiserfs and make a new partition? If not, how did the previous person format a reiserfs partition using this tool?

So far it looks to me like the gui installer will not work for reiserfs and these type of folks are limited to the text installer?
