 |
|
hi,
i tried to format a new partition with mkreiserfs but get the following error
| Code: | studs01 root # mkreiserfs /dev/hdc6
mkreiserfs 3.6.11 (2003 www.namesys.com)
A pair of credits:
Jeremy Fitzhardinge wrote the teahash.c code for V3. Colin Plumb also
contributed to that.
Continuing core development of ReiserFS is mostly paid for by Hans Reiser from
money made selling licenses in addition to the GPL to companies who don't want
it known that they use ReiserFS as a foundation for their proprietary product.
And my lawyer asked 'People pay you money for this?'. Yup. Life is good. If you
buy ReiserFS, you can focus on your value add rather than reinventing an entire
FS.
stat failed: No such file or directory

here the partition table
| Code: | studs01 root # fdisk -l /dev/hdc
Disk /dev/hdc: 120.0 GB, 120060444672 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 14596 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

You may have solved it by now, but (don't flame me if I'm wrong) if you reformatted and re-partitioned the drive, perhaps you have to reboot for the new hdcX numbers to be rescaned and recognized?

Did you try using "ext3"? Maybe the problem is with reiser; I had problems when I upgraded to kernel 2.6. The newest version of reiser wouldn't mount my drive on boot, and the "fix" was to downgrade reiser to an older version. I eventually switched to ext3.
FYI: the old gentoo install guide used to recommend ReiserFS, but now it says to use ext3... wonder why? Anyways, can't go wrong with ext3, it's rock solid. |

I hope it help you:
#man mkreiserfs
.
.
--format FORMAT
FORMAT specifies a format new filsystem has to be of. Choose one of 3.5 and 3.6. If none is spec-
ified mkreiserfs will create format 3.6 if running kernel is 2.4, 3.5 if 2.2 is running, and will
refuse creation under other kernels.
,
,
******************************
But, in reality, 3.6 reiserfs format + 2.4 series kernel = problems.
This is my experience.
What's your kernel? |
