I'm trying to switch a couple of my partitions to reiserfs here and it isn't working. I'm using kernel 2.2.19 with the reiserfs patch installed and reiserfsprogs 3.x.0j. I moved the stuff from /dev/hda7 (/home) to /dev/hda8 (/), and ran "mkreiserfs /dev/hda7" No problems. But when I try to mount it (mount -t reiserfs /dev/hda7 /home), I get:


reiserfs_read_super: can't find a reiserfs filesystem on dev 03:07.
reiserfs_read_super: try to find super block in old location
reiserfs_read_super: can't find a reiserfs filesystem on dev 03:07.
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda7,
or too many mounted file systems


Any ideas?

Okay, I found the problem. It seems I needed to add -v 1 to the mkreiserfs command to make a version 3.5 filesystem rather than 3.6. The 2.2.19 patch was version 3.5.32.
