Mark,
2.2.19 is in security updates. Load it. I tested it for 7.2 myself, and
ALSO you will find reiserfs-utils in the same security update.
Just go to www.linux-mandrake.com and click on Security at the top of the
page then on 7.2 and scroll way way down the list. While you are there, grab
the other items where Vincent Danen and his security team have closed holes.
