It is. I think what Fooler meant when he said "statically attached" is
built-into instead of built as a loadable module.
I've never built ReiserFS as a loadable module because from the first time
I patched my kernel with ReiserFS support, I intended it to be used on my
main partitions at bootup, and on a server where I limit my loadable
module use to save on that slight overhead of loading the module.
Like foolder, I recommend Gene to compile ReiserFS into the kernel. If he
wishes to continue experimenting with ReiserFS as a loadable module, some
things to check out:
1. Make sure you've updated the module dependencies ('depmod -a'), but
this has probably been done since you mentioned you can load the module.
2. Make sure your /etc/fstab entry for the ReiserFS partition correctly
defines the filesystem type as 'reiserfs'.
3. Modify your init scripts to have the reiserfs module automatically
loaded at startup. On my Debian system this is in the file /etc/modules, I
can't remember how RedHat is set up.
4. I don't think ReiserFS support as a module will work if your root
partition uses ReiserFS. I strongly recommend you compile support in the
kernel statically and not as a loadable module. That's by saying "Y"
instead of "M" in the kernel configuration.
