ReiserFS on Removeable HD mounted via supermount

[MasquedAvenger]

I have a weird problem. I have reiserfs support compiled directly into my kernel, and I verified that it was in there because reiserfs now shows up in /proc.

I have a removable HD that worked fine when it had ext3 on it. I decided to try reiserfs, so I created reiserfs on it instead. I tried to cd into the /mnt/portable01 directory (I am running supermount, so that's supposed to mount it automatically) and after trying to read/write files to the disk, I realized that Linux was telling me that no useable media was found. Here is the fstab entry for that device:

none /mnt/portable01 supermount users,sync,fs=auto,dev=/dev/sda1 0 0

fs is set to auto, so it should be able to detect that it is reiserfs and mount the filesystem accordingly. Does anyone have any ideas? I have hotplug running, so whenever I plug the drive into my usb port, it is assigned the device name /dev/sda1.

Thanks in advance.
