Check inside /proc/mounts, it's reliable (rootfs is always rw, you care to the reiserfs mount) - mount cannot update /etc/mtab since it would require writing to the rootfs. Or maybe /etc/mtab still says it's rw...
Seriously - have you checked the "check" field in /etc/fstab to make sure it's "1"? I have played with that flag sometimes.... Also, what you say about fsck.reiserfs is strange... while for ext3, if the fs is clean, no checking at all is done, for reiserfs a light check (replaying the journal and walking the tree) is always done on newer versions, (Mandrake 9.1 didn't do it, 10.0 does the check, which is annoying). > I would do the fsck.reiserfs remotely via ssh if i could, but obviously > i'm to stupid, or it just won't work. ssh won't like a read-only root fs, I think... at least, normally it records the login, his logs...
