I created a reiserfs filesystem with the gentoo 1.4rc4 as my root partition, it has worked great so far, no issues at all. But recently I wanted to try out 2.5.7X-something but it refused to mount my partition. It mounted it read-only, did the filesystem check (no errors reported) but then failed with "Failed to remount partition read/write". I just assumed it was a 2.5 bug and went on happily with my 2.4.20-gentoo-r5 kernel. Later on I decided to install openmosix as I now have access to a couple of fast machines and I wanted to see if I could beef up nwwine a bit. But upon booting (2.4.21-openmosix I believe it was) I got the exact same error as I got with 2.5. I started digging through the patches for 2.4.20-gentoo-r5 but I couldn't find any that would modify how reiserfs works, and this is the only thing I could think of to blame for the problem. With the openmosix kernel I reused my gentoo-sources config and ran a make oldconfig to straighten it out, with 2.5 I reconfigured it from scratch. What kind of information should I submit with a bugreport to make it useful? As I don't get a kernel panic or any noticeable error-messages except the "Failed to remount..." one I'm not sure what could be of help. //David Holm -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
