Everything but /boot is on that volume (and /boot is mounted ro):

# df
Filesystem           1k-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/worley/newsys    78763672  73604064   5159608  94% /
/dev/hda1                19976     18114       831  96% /boot
shmfs                   514732         0    514732   0% /dev/shm

And deleting it first doesn't help.

I'm wondering if there is a kernel/reiser tools mismatch.  How could I verify what's in the kernel?

Thanks,

Chris
