RE: How to mount reiserfs with a relocated journal? -- Figured out

["Doug Bazarnic" <doug@cavecreek.net>]

I had forgotten to run lilo to actually USE the patched kernel.  Oops!
:)

Duh... 

Any way, is there a down side to using a large journal?  8193 vs ~125000
block size?   Right now, I've allocated the entire 512 meg flash card
for the journal size.   


Thanks for you help,

Doug

Subject: How to mount reiserfs with a relocated journal?

Hello,  
 
I'm running RH7.3 with a patched 2.4.21 kernel (03-relocation-8.diff.gz
<ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/mason/patches/data-logging/2.4.21/03-relo
cation-8.diff.gz> ).    
 
I can't get my relocated journal drive to mount.   Are there any special
arguments I have to pass to mount?
 
Mount complains that it can't find a superblock on /dev/sdb1
 
I used  mkreiserfs /dev/sdb1 -j /dev/hda1 .   
 
/dev/sdb1 is my 73 gig Scsi HD, and /dev/hda1 is a 512 meg compact flash
card hooked up to the ide port.
 
Mkreiserfs works fine, writes the journal to /dev/hda1, syncs and says
"OK"
 
Any help would be appreciated!
 
 
Thanks so much,
 
Doug
