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?

codebox.nl · 10-21-2004, 05:40 AM

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?

codebox.nl · 10-21-2004, 05:58 AM

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.
