Doing some restructuring of partitions to prepare for installing
Slackware, I happened to convert a now unused swap partition to a linux
partition.  The sequence of events was

fdisk /dev/hdd
changed partition type to 83 (linux)
wrote changes 
rebooted
mkreiserfs /dev/hdd5 (the former swap partion)
mounted the new partition
copied all files from my /boot partition to the new one
verified that everything is there
modified my lilo.conf to use the new /boot partition
booted again.

Now whenever I use the command

        mount /dev/hdd5 -o notail /mnt/hdd5  (works for all others)

I get error "looks like a swap partition ... mount not done."

so now I have to

        mount /dev/hdd5 -o notail -t reiserfs /mnt/hdd5
 
Does anyone have any suggestions?
