OK, what sort of voodoo must I do to get DiskDrake to make two new ReiserFS partitions? I have tried three times now, each time I set the partition sizes and select ReiserFS as the type, DiskDrake tells me to reset the computer-- being an ex-Windows user, I don't blink twice at this...!
The first time around I didn't check anything. The second time around I removed the updates to /etc/fstab figuring they won't be mount-able until I format them the way I want them to be. The third time around I sawa that /etc/fstab was updated just the way I expected it to be with two new ReiserFS partitions. All three times when I reboot and go back to DiskDrake to format these partitions, one has its type changed to ext3 and the other is set to ext2! I don't even bother formatting these because that is not what I want. A cat syslog|grep 'hda' shows what happened the last time I rebooted (hda6 and hda7 are the new partitions...): Jul 2 22:07:25 rocjoe1 kernel: ide0: BM-DMA at 0xd000-0xd007, BIOS settings: hda:DMA, hdb:DMA Jul 2 22:07:25 rocjoe1 kernel: hda: MAXTOR 6L040J2, ATA DISK drive Jul 2 22:07:25 rocjoe1 kernel: hda: 78177792 sectors (40027 MB) w/1819KiB Cache, CHS=4866/255/63, UDMA(100) Jul 2 22:07:26 rocjoe1 mount: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda7, Jul 2 22:07:26 rocjoe1 mount: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda6, Jul 2 22:07:13 rocjoe1 mount: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda7, Jul 2 22:07:13 rocjoe1 mount: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda6, Jul 2 22:09:20 rocjoe1 diskdrake[1964]: found a dos partition table on /dev/hda at sector 0 Jul 2 22:09:20 rocjoe1 diskdrake[1964]: err, fstab and partition table do not agree for hda6 type: ext3 vs reiserfs Jul 2 22:09:20 rocjoe1 diskdrake[1964]: err, fstab and partition table do not agree for hda7 type: ext2 vs reiserfs Jul 2 22:09:20 rocjoe1 diskdrake[1964]: found mounted partition on hda1 with / ...I already have three other ReiserFS partitions over two hard drives that are co-operating nicely. Any ideas? Richie
