Hi, |
| 2 |
I wasn't sure how to go about this as I didn't know exactly what kind of information would be |
| 3 |
helpful in a bugreport, maybe I could get some further info here. |
| 4 |
I created a reiserfs filesystem with the gentoo 1.4rc4 as my root partition, it has worked great |
| 5 |
so far, no issues at all. But recently I wanted to try out 2.5.7X-something but it refused to |
| 6 |
mount my partition. It mounted it read-only, did the filesystem check (no errors reported) but |
| 7 |
then failed with "Failed to remount partition read/write". I just assumed it was a 2.5 bug and |
| 8 |
went on happily with my 2.4.20-gentoo-r5 kernel. |
| 9 |
Later on I decided to install openmosix as I now have access to a couple of fast machines and I |
| 10 |
wanted to see if I could beef up nwwine a bit. But upon booting (2.4.21-openmosix I believe it |
| 11 |
was) I got the exact same error as I got with 2.5. I started digging through the patches for |
| 12 |
2.4.20-gentoo-r5 but I couldn't find any that would modify how reiserfs works, and this is the |
| 13 |
only thing I could think of to blame for the problem. With the openmosix kernel I reused my |
| 14 |
gentoo-sources config and ran a make oldconfig to straighten it out, with 2.5 I reconfigured it |
| 15 |
from scratch. |
| 16 |
What kind of information should I submit with a bugreport to make it useful? As I don't get a |
| 17 |
kernel panic or any noticeable error-messages except the "Failed to remount..." one I'm not sure |
| 18 |
what could be of help. |
