Hmmm... if /dev/md0 is your / partition, then it did not convert. you'll have to find a way to umount that partition and then try to convert it. If you have a second bootable partition setup, then you could try it. Or hack a custom initrd to run a conversion priot to mount /dev/md0 as /. - Herman Patrick Hsieh wrote:

Hello,

I installed SuSE 7.3 default system with official CDs, then I compiled kernel 2.4.17 from source tarball. After rebooting, I got some info about reiser:

black91:/backup # dmesg | grep eiser reiserfs: checking transaction log (device 09:00) ... reiserfs: using 3.5.x disk format ReiserFS version 3.6.25 VFS: Mounted root (reiserfs filesystem) readonly. reiserfs: checking transaction log (device 08:01) ... reiserfs: using 3.5.x disk format ReiserFS version 3.6.25 reiserfs: checking transaction log (device 08:11) ... reiserfs: using 3.5.x disk format ReiserFS version 3.6.25 reiserfs: checking transaction log (device 08:21) ... reiserfs: using 3.5.x disk format ReiserFS version 3.6.25

Then I try mount -o remount,conv /dev/md0

So I think /dev/md0 should be reiserfs 3.6 with LFS support. Then I tried

black91:/backup # dd if=/dev/zero of=big count=1 obs=1k seek=3000000 dd: advancing past 3072000000 bytes in output file `big': File too large

failed again!! It's very weird. I mount -o remount,conv to every reiserfs partition, but after reboot, I got the same dmesg messages saying that it's using 3.5.x disk format. Why?
