Well, I've never used Reiserfs before so there might be something I'm
missing. But...

UUID=27bb8f9b-38ab-4398-92c5-4fbc0dd970a1 /media/newpartition
reiserfs    relatime,errors=remount-ro 0       1

could possibly do the trick although 'man fstab' mentions only ext2 and
xfs as identifiable by thier UUID (but then again ext3 works like this).

Don't think your going to harm anything by giving the above a try. If it
doesn't work give 'man mount' and 'man fstab' a read.
