Hi, A few days back I had downloaded the latest versions of linux-util and e2fsprogs since I converted my ext2 partition to ext3.
Now I have a free 1 GB partition /dev/hda9. I wanted to try out reiserfs on it. So I created reiserfs partition (mkreiserfs). Everything fine till here. Now surprise. If I put the following in /etc/fstab : /dev/hda9 /mnt/hda9 reiserfs defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 and try to mount I get the following : ------------------------------------------------------------------------ debian:/home/rajesh# mount /mnt/hda9 mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda9, or too many mounted file systems ------------------------------------------------------------------------ As u can see below reiserfs kernel module is loaded. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ debian:/home/rajesh# lsmod Module Size Used by reiserfs 150816 0 (autoclean) lp 5024 0 (autoclean) ide-cd 26032 0 cdrom 26976 0 [ide-cd] es1371 25760 0 ac97_codec 8528 0 [es1371] sound 55520 0 (unused) soundcore 3920 6 [es1371 sound] i810 74880 0 (unused) loop 8000 0 (unused) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Now if I try to mount the same reisefs partition with : debian:/home/rajesh# mount -t reiserfs /dev/hda9 /mnt/hda9/ it mounts fine. debian:/home/rajesh# mount /dev/hda3 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro,errors=remount-ro) proc on /proc type proc (rw) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620) /dev/hda5 on /mnt/data type vfat (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,errors=remount-ro) /dev/hda6 on /mnt/funstuff type vfat (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,errors=remount-ro) /dev/hda1 on /mnt/windows type vfat (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,errors=remount-ro) /dev/hda9 on /mnt/hda9 type reiserfs (rw) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Why is mounting after putting the appropriate entry in /etc/fstab not working ? The same stuff works with -t reiserfs option to mount. Any ideas ? Thanks in advance.
