Thank you Arjan! The patch to kernel version 2.4.12 worked fine, after altering the patch-file (changing the paths to reflect my /usr/src/linux) I compiled the kernel, installed it and restarted my system. At system boot all disks are detected fine and also included in the array. I created a partition that spans the entire array (all disks), then I made a reiserfs file system on the partition. I copied a gig data to it, umounted the file system, ran reiserfsck on it. Everything works just fine, except when running reiserfsck while the filesystem is mounted, I the get the following error: root@ogg:~> reiserfsck -i --check /mnt/test reiserfsck, 2001 - reiserfsprogs 3.x.0i Will read-only check consistency of the partition Will put log info to 'stderr' Do you want to run this program?[N/Yes] (note need to type Yes):Yes reiserfs_open: bread failed reading block 16 reiserfs_open: bread failed reading block 2 reiserfs_open: neither new nor old reiserfs format found on /mnt/test reiserfsck: --rebuild-sb may restore reiserfs super block Is it normal for reiserfsck to behave like this on a mounted reiserfs file system? Once again I thank you Arjan for the help.
