It was a mixup betwin reiserfs and automount, I am not sure which one is responsible or if it is a joint venture, it seemed to just remove the link to the root folder somehow. I am afraid I don't feel like debugging it though, other then that, I am running reiserfs for some time now on to computers, (one died of an unrelated problem) and it hasn't given any other trouble.
An advantage for ext2/3 is on a dualboot system there is a graphical tool to access ext2/3 from win (explore2fs or something like it) which is easier to use then the commandline rfstool. --- Qian Gong <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > It's hard to say the following is related to reiserfs.
