I see that now. Here's what threw me (on Ubuntu): [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat /boot/ubuntu/config-2.6.15-25-386 | grep -i reiser CONFIG_REISERFS_FS=m # CONFIG_REISERFS_CHECK is not set # CONFIG_REISERFS_PROC_INFO is not set CONFIG_REISERFS_FS_XATTR=y CONFIG_REISERFS_FS_POSIX_ACL=y CONFIG_REISERFS_FS_SECURITY=y Silly me, assuming that one distro is built the same way as another one :-) alan -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
