Thats correct Karsten. I had just done copy and paste in my /etc/fstab and as a
result errors=remount-ro also remained and I missed out on that. After removing
that option now it works fine.

I also had a look at man mount and could not find any mention of reiserfs in it
:-) But it works fine.

Thanks for the help.

Warm Regards

What happens if you remove all the options after 'defaults'?  I believe
'errors' is just an ext2fs filesystem option.  Though my 'mount' manpage
doesn't have any reiser info in it.

reiserfs & mount

2001-08-01 Thread Rajesh Fowkar
Hi,

A few days back I had downloaded the latest versions of linux-util and e2fsprogs
since I converted my ext2 partition to ext3.

Now I have a free 1 GB partition /dev/hda9. I wanted to try out reiserfs on it.
So I created reiserfs partition (mkreiserfs). Everything fine till here. Now
surprise. If I put the following in /etc/fstab :

/dev/hda9  /mnt/hda9   reiserfs defaults,errors=remount-ro   0  
 1

and try to mount I get the following :


debian:/home/rajesh# mount /mnt/hda9
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda9,
   or too many mounted file systems



As u can see below reiserfs kernel module is loaded.

debian:/home/rajesh# lsmod
Module  Size  Used by
reiserfs  150816   0  (autoclean)
lp  5024   0  (autoclean)
ide-cd 26032   0 
cdrom  26976   0  [ide-cd]
es1371 25760   0 
ac97_codec  8528   0  [es1371]
sound  55520   0  (unused)
soundcore   3920   6  [es1371 sound]
i810   74880   0  (unused)
loop8000   0  (unused)



Now if I try to mount the same reisefs partition with :

debian:/home/rajesh# mount -t reiserfs /dev/hda9 /mnt/hda9/

it mounts fine.

debian:/home/rajesh# mount
/dev/hda3 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro,errors=remount-ro)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
/dev/hda5 on /mnt/data type vfat (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,errors=remount-ro)
/dev/hda6 on /mnt/funstuff type vfat (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,errors=remount-ro)
/dev/hda1 on /mnt/windows type vfat (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,errors=remount-ro)
/dev/hda9 on /mnt/hda9 type reiserfs (rw)
^

Why is mounting after putting the appropriate entry in /etc/fstab not working ?
The same stuff works with -t reiserfs option to mount.

Any ideas ?

Thanks in advance.

Warm Regards
