Re: reiserfsprogs-3.6.12 release

[Brandon Low <lostlogic@gentoo.org>]

This release gives me:

Partition /dev/hda3 is mounted with write permissions, cannot check it

When I try to run fsck.reiserfs /dev/hda3 during bootup when the fs is
mounted readonly.  I have used init=/bin/bash and confirmed this result
interactively... 

This problem prevented me from booting (due to the particular failure
modes of the Gentoo init system) but I'm sure that it is irritating to
others as well (unless it is peculiar to my system).

Kernel: 2.6.3-rc1-mm1
Gentoo Linux (unstable) up-to-date
