how to mount reiserfs partition?


I used to use suse but yesterday I did a yast update and it screwed up the system then I decided to swtich to FC5.
Here's my problem:
I have a suse reiserfs partition which I mounted it as /home during FC5 installation.
After booting up, the system failed to mount the partition.

How can I mount my /home back?
do I need any changes in /etc/fstab?

this is my fstab file:
LABEL=/1 / ext3 defaults 1 1
devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
/dev/sda3 /home reiserfs defaults 1 2
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
LABEL=SWAP-sda1 swap swap defaults 0 0

reiserfs mount problem

I'm not sure if reiserfs filesystem support is enabled in FC5 kernel or not...but you can try this
# mount -t reiserfs /dev/sdaX /home -v
run this as root and see what the output is. If its okay, u'll get okay message ....otherwise I'm afraid that u may need to recompile a stock kernel [from kernel.org] with reiserfs support built-in.

I have a feeling reiserfs isn't supported, it's interesting that it let you choose to mount it as home in the installation.

Your fstab looks fine. By default, the reiserfs-utils are not installed with FC5.

You can install them easily, and then, reboot and your /home directory will be mounted automatically and usable. As root, type this from a shell:

yum install reiserfs-utils

Exit your terminal, reboot, and you should have your /home directory back!
