Yuri Rupasov did testing and benchmarking, plus he invented the r5 hash (also used by the dcache code). Yura Rupasov, Anatoly Pinchuk, Igor Krasheninnikov, Grigory Zaigralin, Mikhail Gilula, Igor Zagorovsky, Roman Pozlevich, Konstantin Shvachko, and Joshua MacDonald are former contributors to the project. Chris Mason wrote the journaling code for V3, which was enormously more useful to users than just waiting until we could create a wandering log filesystem as Hans would have unwisely done without him. Jeff Mahoney optimized the bitmap scanning code for V3, and performed the big endian cleanups. Guessing about desired format.. Kernel 2.6.7-at1 is running. Format 3.6 with standard journal Count of blocks on the device: 525120 Number of blocks consumed by mkreiserfs formatting process: 8212 Blocksize: 8192 Hash function used to sort names: "r5" Journal Size 8193 blocks (first block 10) Journal Max transaction length 1024 inode generation number: 0 UUID: a7d5aa87-9471-432b-ad8f-ef6a426d626d ATTENTION: YOU SHOULD REBOOT AFTER FDISK! ALL DATA WILL BE LOST ON '/dev/hda6'! Continue (y/n):y Initializing journal - 0%....20%....40%....60%....80%....100% Syncing..ok Tell your friends to use a kernel based on 2.4.18 or later, and especially not a kernel based on 2.4.9, when you use reiserFS. Have fun. ReiserFS is successfully created on /dev/hda6. ~ $ mount -t reiserfs /dev/hda6 /rfs mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda6, or too many mounted file systems ~ $ but the same steps worked when i chose block size of 4096 bytes. please, help me out. -- regards avinesh ==================================== EVEN IMPOSSIBLE SAYS -- I M POSSIBLE ====================================
