Hi Folks,
My workstation froze when trying to get the CDROM to work properly. After a hard reboot I discoved that a Reiserfs-3.6 partition on a secondary disk (hdb5) will not mount. I get a "mount: /dev/hdb5 already mounted or /media busy", but mount does to list the partition as mounted, /etc/mtab does not list the partion and fsck or fsck.reiserfs do not list any corruptions or problems with the partion. Checking dmesg and I see that the disk is visable to the kernel. Disk hda is the main system disk with reiserfs-3.6 partions, (expect for /boot), and all appears well with them. They mount as expected.
Any ideas as to why am I not able to mount the partion? Before the crash the partion was mounted and working just fine. Also if it matters, my system is a 100% udev configuration. All other partions, devices, (sound, video) etc are work just fine. I even got CDROM to show up correctly with HAL. It just pops up on the Gnome desktop.
Thanks
Anthony
