Reiserfs does not work from fstab in 2.4.9-ac12

Reiserfs does not work from fstab in 2.4.9-ac12

[Tony Hoyle]

I just got caught by this on a box which had a reiserfs /usr partition...

# mount /disk2
reiserfs: kgetopt: there is not option
<lots of mount failure stuff>

The fstab that generated this (which has worked for every other version,
so I believe it to be correct):
/dev/hdb1      /disk2          reiserfs        defaults        0       0

However
# mount -t reiserfs /dev/hdb1 /disk2

..works correctly.

I just experienced the same problem upgrading from 2.4.9-ac7 to
2.4.9-ac13. I was just about to start an investigation when I saw your
e-mail.

What happened in my case is that all my filesystems are reiserfs. The
root filesystem was mounted succesfully for some reason but when it tried
to mount the others it gave "wrong fs type or bad superblock"
for every reiserfs partition (which includes /usr, /var, /tmp etc. So I
had to reboot back into -ac7).

I'll post a "bug report" after I investigate and find out what the
problem is. I just wanted to post this e-mail to say that you're not the
only one who's had a problem.

Yes, it's known bug (you are using Alan's kernel, right?). Yesterday
(2001.09.21) patch addressing this was posted on reiserfs list (archive
at http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=reiserfs&r=1&w=2) and sent
to Alan.
