Yes it complained:

# mount /dev/sdb5 /walk1
mount: fs type reiserfs not supported by kernel

Here is the steps to get reiserfs support working:

Get and install the single, (and multiprocessor if needed) rpms's:

kernel-smp-unsupported-2.4.21-15.0.4.EL.i686.rpm*
kernel-unsupported-2.4.21-15.0.4.EL.i686.rpm*

These are under the main AS or WS channel.
Then reboot the machine and mounting reiserfs file systems
simply works!

We were upgrding a machine that had 4 disks, the
system disk was ext2/3, the other 3 drives were all
reiserfs filesytems. And that is why I need the reiserfs support.

Have you tried mounting a reiser partition without the kernel module
already loaded to see if it loads it automatically?

Thanks,

Has anyone configured the reiserfs loadable kernel module in rhel-3?
I found the below info from the RedHat knowlegebase, I got the modules,
(installed the rpm).

I can do a:

"insmod -p
/lib/modules/2.4.21-15.0.4.ELsmp/unsupported/fs/reiserfs/reiserfs.o"

and it checks out ok. I can probably load by hand with "insmod", cannot
find out any good info on how to configure /etc/modules.conf to get
it to load at boot time. If someone has done this any help would
be appreciated, thanks.
