As Volker said, maybe things have changed recently, but the requirement was always to use notail when running reiserfs on /boot. that's why I use ext3 on my root partition (no /boot partition), but I'd be happy to switch it to reiser. The latest baselayout-1 still has this warning in fstab # NOTE: If your BOOT partition is ReiserFS, add the notail option to opts. -- Neil Bothwick And all the Borg left was this copy of OS/2...
