Title: Reiserfs How to Mount
Post by: ordep on April 03, 2012, 09:46:22 PM
I am am very new to TCL and I like what I see. I have mastered a few things, like Skype working, xclock ticking, however, I am unable  to mount the reiserfs partitions on my hard drive. I have downloaded all the reiser*.tcz files. I searched the Forum and do not find an answer I can understand.

Could someone please explain in a language for a slower mind how to mount reiserfs partitions on a hard drive.

Thanks in advance.

Hi ordep
Did you install the  filesystems  extension?

Hi ordep

Yes with downloaded I meant actually installed, sorry. All the reiserfs*.tcz are found in /usr/local/sbin/. I put On Boot when
downloading.

Hi ordep
I don't use reiserfs myself, but I would think   sudo mount /dev/partition /mnt/mountpoint   should do it.
Does  lsmod  show that the reiserfs module is loaded? What error messages do you get from the mount command?

Your reply is irrelevant to above question.
Those are executables for fsck and tuning, not kernel modules which you need to mount filesystems.

Hi ordep
Let me rephrase that. If you open AppBrowser, and scroll down, there is an extension called  filesystems. If you haven't
already, pick the one that matches your kernel and install it. If you are not sure of which kernel you are running, enter
uname -r   at the command prompt.
