Hi,

Sorry if this question was already seen, I'm newbie on this list.

I tried creating a reiserfs file system with external journal device
mkreiserfs work fine but I can't mount the FS as you can see on the
following screen copy :

    [root@CORTON root]# mkreiserfs -s 8193 -j /dev/sdf1 /dev/sdg2

    <-------------mkreiserfs, 2002------------->
    reiserfsprogs 3.6.4

    mkreiserfs: Guessing about desired format..
    mkreiserfs: Kernel 2.4.20-30.9smp is running.
    Format 3.6 with non-standard journal
    Count of blocks on the device: 8865871
    Number of blocks consumed by mkreiserfs formatting process: 289
    Blocksize: 4096
    Hash function used to sort names: "r5"
    Journal Device [0x851]
    Journal Size 8193 blocks (first block 0)
    Journal Max transaction length 1024
    Space on this device reserved by journal: 0
    inode generation number: 0
    UUID: 874b3d7c-48b8-48ca-90e1-80bc98c74193
    ATTENTION: YOU SHOULD REBOOT AFTER FDISK!
            ALL DATA WILL BE LOST ON '/dev/sdg2' AND ON JOURNAL DEVICE
'/dev/sdf1'!
    Continue (y/n):y
    Initializing journal - 0%....20%....40%....60%....80%....100%
    Syncing..ok

    The [...]
    Have fun.

    [root@CORTON root]# mount -t reiserfs /dev/sdg2 /mnt
    mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdg2,
           or too many mounted file systems
    [root@CORTON root]#

Why is it not working ?

My distrib is Red Hat Linux 9


P.F.
