Re: 2.4.9-ac12 - problem mounting reiserfs (parse error?)

[Fabian Arias]

Same here, cannot mount reiserfs partitions on boot.

- Debian Sid
- mount 2.11h
- gcc-2.95.4 (20010902 Debian prerelease) and 3.0.2pre010908.

But in my case I don't have "defaults" on fstab on my reiserfs partitions:

/dev/hdc1  /      ext2          defaults,errors=remount-ro      0 1
/dev/hdc5  /home  reiserfs      rw                              0 2
/dev/hdc6  /usr   reiserfs      rw                              0 2
/dev/hdc3  /var   reiserfs      rw                              0 2
