[coLinux-users] reiserfs? or what?

[Perverz T. <per...@ma...>]

Hi!

I tried to mount my linux partitions. bouth of them are reiserfs.

so i writed in the config file:
    <block_device index=3D"3" path=3D"\Device\HarddiskVolume2"
enabled=3D"true">
    </block_device>
    <block_device index=3D"4" path=3D"\Device\HarddiskVolume7"
enabled=3D"true">
    </block_device>

then i tried to mount:
mount -t reiserfs -o ro /dev/cobd4 ./4

but i get this from the kernel:
reiserfs: found format "3.6" with standard journal
Filesystem on 75:04 cannot be mounted because it is bigger than the
device
You may need to run fsck or increase size of your LVM partition
Or may be you forgot to reboot after fdisk when it told you to

what can i do now? is it a bug, or i was the one, who done something the
wrong way?

Bye

What host OS?
What version/snapshot of the coLinux binaries?
What root filesystem?

I was able to successfully use reiserfs using a pre-built bundle.

Here's what I did:

- installed the bundle.  See "Installing coLinux-20040429 with TAP  
networking on Windows 2000":
   http://www.colinux.org/wiki/index.php/PreBuiltBundles
- ran the script to upgrade from woody to sarge:
    
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/ 
index.php?func=detail&aid=950624&group_id=98788&atid=622065
- installed reiserfs:
   apt-get update
   apt-get install reiserfsprogs
- tested reiserfs using the loopback device:
   dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/rfs bs=1M count=0 seek=50
   losetup /dev/loop0 /tmp/rfs
   echo y | mkfs.reiserfs /dev/loop0
   mkdir /mnt/rfs
   mount /dev/loop0 /mnt/rfs

Seemed to work:
  # mount
  /dev/cobd0 on / type ext2 (rw)
  proc on /proc type proc (rw)
  devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
  tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
  /dev/loop0 on /mnt/rfs type reiserfs (rw)

Of course, since I do not have a native partition that is Reiser, I  
could not test that.  Let us know what you try and how things go.

Could it be that you are using 0.6.0? This has been fixed in the newer
snapshots. Maybe you should try one of those?
