Hi! I just thought I should give reiserfs3.6 a chance and converted my laptop's root to it. I've done the following:
1. boot from Gentoo's live cd 2. start sshd and set root password 3. mount root and boot 4. mount their mount point on my desktop via sshfs 5. create a tar ball 6. unmount everything, create reiserfs, remount everything 7. extract tar ball, edit fstab 8. reboot Now I have the following problem: If I boot, the kernel starts normally (from what I see) but then tells me that it is "unable to start initial console" (if I remember correctly) and reboots after a few seconds. When I boot from the live cd I can chroot in it without problem and compile kernels (I had some other unrelated issues before this one that I skipped). So at least cp, ls, bash and gcc work correctly. Does Gentoo have problems booting from Reiserfs3.6? I've increased the journal size and decreased the block size but that's it.
