Has anyone mounted a reiserfs partition by label on any system? I don't recall where I read it, but unless I'm mistaken the label thing only works if the filesystem is either XFS or EXT(2|3). Also, is the reiser driver loaded before you try to mount? It seems to me like the driver would have to already be loaded in order for the kernel to read the label, since labels are part of the fs, not the partition table. Maybe try being more specific? mount -t reiserfs -L 'label' /mnt/point ____________________ BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ ___________________________________________________________________ List Info: http://uug.byu.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/uug-list
