Partition the disk with fdisk, create the XFS filesystem with mkfs.xfs

in the simplest form:
mkfs.xfs /dev/hda8
Yes, XFS has journals, and yes it is better/faster than ext3

I have to agree with Jesse. Reiserfs is just not where it needs to be.
The XFS file system has been around on SGI machines for a long time and
is a mature file system. It also has acl's, xfsdump, and xfs_repair if
things go wrong.
I ran the XFS filesys with RedHat 7.3 for about a year with no problems
at all. I stopped using it because RedHat snubbed the filesys for some
reason, and I got tired of waiting for SGI to catch up with RedHat's
kernels. Since 2.6 will have XFS built-in, I will switch back to XFS.
