No reiserfs kernel-modules with kernel 2.6.27.21-170.2.56.fc10
Last modified: 2009-04-20 18:11:50 EDT
Description of problem: Kernel 2.6.27.21-170.2.56.fc10 does not have reiserfs modules somewhere. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.27.21-170.2.56.fc10 How reproducible: Allways Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Fedora 10 from DVD, have some partition formated with reiserfs 2. mount it. 3. Upgrade to the new kernel 2.6.27.21-170.2.56.fc10 4. Watch the system not mount the reiserfs formatted partitions Actual results: Partitions formatted with reiserfs are not mounted Expected results: Partitions formatted with reiserfs mounted Additional info: Kernels before 2.6.27.21-170.2.56.fc10 had reiserfs enabled
Can you check if your kernel have or not reiserfs with the flowing command ? grep REISER /boot/config-* have you installed reiserfs-utils ? reiserfs module is loaded ? modprobe reiserfs ?
I was totaly on the wrong way ... The filesystem on these partitions is not reiserfs (even if marked as being in fstab), but ext3. Looks a lot like mount reading fstab for a given partition and taking what is given as filesystem there (even if I give it device and mountpoint, but no filesystem type): "mount /dev/vg00/lv00 /mnt" fails with reiserfs superblock not found "mount -t ext3 /dev/vg00/lv00 /mnt" doesn't fail! Maybe mount does something wrong?
sounds like ext3, have you take a look in /etc/fstab ?
As I wrote: fstab gives reiserfs, but it is ext3. I could confirm: fstab: /dev/sda3 /tmp reiserfs defaults 0 0 mount /dev/sda3 /mnt --> fails: could not find reiserfs superblock mount -t ext3 /dev/sda3 /mnt --> mounts OK. this is only with this mount. Maybe it takes what is given in fstab, ignoring what is found inside the partition. I'll take a look at the source then I'll find (or maybe not ...).
change your fstab to ext3, can I close this bug report ?
Yes, just close it. Or maybe better redirect it to mount and set severity to low or medium --- I'll have a close look at what is going on with mount.
