You see this?? Starting with linux kernel v2.4.21 I cannot mount my FS anymore Special sanity checks were added to kernel code to prohibit mounting of filesystems that are bigger then underlying block device. If you now see this message on mount:
Filesystem on xx:yy cannot be mounted because it is bigger than the device You may need to run fsck or increase size of your LVM partition Or may be you forgot to reboot after fdisk when it told you to If you do not use LVM, that usually means you need to run reiserfsck --rebuild-sb on your filesystem and agree to change it's default size to proposed one. Dunno Reiserfs, but came across it in case it affects you. > On Wed, Dec 03, 2003 at 02:39:08PM -0500, Mojo B. Nichols wrote: > > I run with / as reiserfs 2.20 no problem.
