I got done installing a fresh copy of gentoo built from stage-1, I used the latest gentoo-dev-sources. I am using raid1 (with 3 harddrives) for the root partition with reiserfs as the filesystem. mount is showing / as xfs and when i booted it was telling me i had no fsck.xfs installed. ahze@ahze ahze $ mount /dev/md0 on / type xfs (rw,noatime,notail) /dev/md1 on /usr type reiserfs (rw,noatime,notail) <--snip--> notice how it shows the other partition as reiserfs. ahze@ahze ahze $ cat /proc/filesystems nodev sysfs nodev rootfs nodev bdev nodev proc nodev sockfs nodev futexfs nodev tmpfs nodev pipefs nodev eventpollfs nodev devpts nodev ramfs nodev devfs nodev nfs nodev nfsd reiserfs nodev rpc_pipefs ahze@ahze ahze $ dmesg |grep -i reiser found reiserfs format "3.6" with standard journal Reiserfs journal params: device md0, size 8192, journal first block 18, max trans len 1024, max batch 900, max commit age 30, max trans age 30 reiserfs: checking transaction log (md0) for (md0) reiserfs: replayed 10 transactions in 0 seconds I haven't seen any other problems other than when i boot it tells me i need fsck.xfs and mount showing it is a xfs partition when it really is reiserfs.
