Yeah, I noticed that "/" was mounted as ro already, but fsck.reiserfs thought 
it
wasn't. "/" was only mounted once here (no double-mounts) so I'm not sure 
where
the fsck got the idea. Perhaps the newer version (it's been updated again 
since
this bug appeared, have you updated to .13?) has problems reading the mount
flags? Has anyone tried downgrading to .11 (I have not yet) to see if that
fixes it?
