Mounting a filesystem
 

hello,

i recently migrated a disk wich contains webdata from a slack 9.1 box to a fedora core 2 box, well the filesystem on the disk is created on a machine running a 2.4 kernel and the filesystem just doesn't wan't to mount on the fedora machine wich has a 2.6 kernel.

any help is appriciated

thanks

why doesn't it? what errors do you receive? as far as I know, both kernels you mentioned can handle quite a few filesystems...

what formats were your filesystems?

reiserfs


it gives then genreic error "bad blockdevice, wrong fs".

however i can cleanly mount it under the slackware machine but the fedora keeps giving these messages even when autoprobing the superblock

What command are you using to try to mount?

plain mount command "mount /dev/hdb /www" i've tried multiple filesystems using the -t parm

found it it seems fedora doesn't endorse reiser since i have selinux installed does anyone of you know if there is a reiserfs kernel module available somewhere.


thanks

cat /proc/filesystems
to see if your kernel supports reiserfs.
