Hi.
I think the "file system" parameter is missing.
hi! yes, that isn't correct... it should be "reiserfs".
it doesn't appear until after you run mkreiserfs. example:
Using /dev/sdb
(parted) p

IMHO it must be 83 or "Linux".
according to the parted manual, it can be one of the following:
ext2
fat16, fat32
hfs, hfs+, hfsx
linux-swap
NTFS
reiserfs
ufs
BTW: Are jou running an UPS with your 3ware controller? I've just
fiddled out how not to corrupt my HDs with the 3ware Inc 7xxx/8xxx-
series PATA/RAID controller when the nut-ups software shuts down on
power failure.
I don't have a UPS, but the server has a redundant power supply
which is connected to two separate power circuits. so if one goes
out, no big deal. in addition, the 9500-12MI controller has a battery-
backup unit (BBU) installed to preserve the write cache in case of a
power failure.
if you're concerned about power failures when using 3ware cards, I
recommend turning off the write cache, or using a BBU (costs about
$100) if you're using a 95XX-series controller.
unfortunately the 7-8xxx series controllers don't have BBU capability.
cheers,
- Jared
