My other sourcemage box is running version 3.6.11 of reiserfsprogs and it works OK. Tonight when I get home from work I'll check the version on my main machine and upgrade/downgrade to .13/.11 and we'll see what happens.

Stay tuned...

Quoting Cory Schmidt <sourcemage AT schmidtsite.us>:

My machine is an athlon-xp also, although I can't see how that would have anything to do with it. I'm running a 2.4.2x kernel (I can't remember if it's 23 or 24).

The man page for reiserfsck states that with the --check option you CAN check a read-only mounted reiserfs partition. From dufflebunk's previous email, mount was reporting that / was mounted rw but when he tried to create a file it failed saying / was mounted ro. So it sounds like there's some strange voodoo going on with mount. Does someone with more knowledge than me (almost everyone :-)) know how anything like that could happen with mount?


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?
