reiser kernel support?
I just installed the woody version of reiserfsprogs onto my woody system. Afterward, mkreiserfs /devhdc1 seemed to have created the file system OK (but suspiciously quickly for a 120G partition), but when I tried to mount it I was informed that mount: fs type reiser not supported by kernel Now I presume that this means that I have failed to install reiser support for the kernel -- but mkreiserfs did not seem to have any relevand dependencies. Just what *do* I have to install to get the necessary kernel support? -- hendrik (pseudonym hashi) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

If you are going to use reiserfs on your root filesystem, you should compile it into the kernel itself, instead of as a module. -- Seneca [EMAIL PROTECTED] pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

Just what *do* I have to install to get the necessary kernel support? Do you use Kernel 2.2 or 2.4? As far as I know, only 2.4 Kernel images in Debian have ReiserFS support. Try modprobe reiserfs to see if the driver can be found. best regards Andreas Janssen -- Andreas Janssen [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP-Key-ID: 0xDC801674 Registered Linux User #267976 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Hi, [aggregious snip] Just what *do* I have to install to get the necessarykernel support? 'mkreiserfs' doesn't require kernel support for the file system type, you're not 'working' with it, just creating it. You need to load the module for reiserfs to mount the file system. With 'modconf' you should be able to find the right module. HTH Eamon Roque. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

What kernel are you using?
With the 2.4.18-{arch} kernels in Woody you will need to 'modprobe
reiserfs' before you can mount if your system is already running. It
is not a bad idea to add a line with 'reiserfs' in /etc/modules if you
are not booting from a reiserfs file system (the initrd image should
allow you too boot from such a file system, I've never done it though,
being partial to ext3).
The 2.2.x kernels in the Woody install series do not support
reiserfs. Go ahead and install 2.4.18 for your processor (apt-get
install kernel-image-2.4.18-{arch} should do it for you, where {arch}
is your architecture).
The bf2.4 kernel has it built in (and I suppose you are not running it
since you can't mount).
Cheers!
