Description Jens Schittenhelm 2004-01-05 06:09:55 UTC
The 2.6 LiveCDs won't allow to execute mkreiserfs. I'mgetting instead the message: "you should use 2.4 or 2.2 to create a reiserfs system"

This should be pointed out somewhere in the Gentoo Handbook, since I was planning ahead and didn't know that there is no reiserfs support in the 2.6 LiveCDs.

*cough* don't use docs to circumvent bugs :)

Reassigning to the LiveCD peeps: get mkreiserfs working on the 2.6 LiveCDs !
Comment 2 Bob Johnson (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-01-05 11:19:36 UTC
***********output from 2.6 livecd****************
mkreiserfs: You should run either 2.4 or 2.2 to be able to create reiserfs filesystem or specify desired format with -v

*************************************************

the -v option works quite well..
Comment 3 Sven Vermeulen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-01-05 11:35:05 UTC
What format must be specified with "-v"? (for the docs)
Comment 4 Bob Johnson (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-01-05 12:02:03 UTC
The -v option shouldnt be necessary in the future , as new versions
of reiserf tools dont require it with 2.6..
Comment 5 Sven Vermeulen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-01-05 13:17:28 UTC
Will those new tools be used with the upcoming 2004.0 release LiveCDs?
