ReiserFS: hda16: Using r5 hash to sort names

Im using 5.1.1 with kernel 2.4.26 with reiserfs support compiled
Also installed reiserfsprogs.

Not sure what's causing this. I don't encounter this problem in any other OS.

my fstab entry for this partition in LFS is

Quote:

/dev/hda16 /boot_not reiserfs defaults 0 0

0 0 as suggested by the LFS book for reiserfs.

However, the partition is mounted properly. I have access to the partition.

Any idea what's causing this? Thanks.

Change the line to this:

/dev/hda16 /boot_not reiserfs notail 1 2

I think it's pretty standard to use the notail option with reiserfs; failure to do so can lead to problems with file system corruption. It's a fairly well known problem with reiserfs. By default, reiserfs stores small files and `file tails' directly into the tree. This confuses some utilities like LILO. This option is used to disable packing of files into the tree.

Will try that when I reboot to LFS

Still showed the error when I rebooted to LFS after changing fstab.

This is actually my /boot partition for all my other OSs. Will probably defer transferring my lfskernel to that partition until I can solve this problem.
