How can I convince the installer to load the reiserfs module before it proclaims that I have no Linux partitions? Starting an install with "linux reiserfs" does not allow the installer to recognize reiserfs, at least not on raid 5. I have booted from the RedHat 9 CD with the following:
reiserfs is unsupported in Red Hat Linux and upgrades of reiserfs on top
of RAID won't work due to how we do sniffing of filesystems on RAID. If
someone is interested in implementing this, take a look at
anaconda/partedUtils.py:sniffFilesystemType(). You should be able to
add reiserfs detection at the end of the function where it says it
should be done and then make an update disk to add the support. Patches accepted in bugzilla :)

I appreciate your detailed response. I will look into adding the missing functionality in my spare time.
Does RedHat periodically test Reiserfs to see if the elusive file corruption bug is gone? Are there any plans to evaluate Reiser4 once it is released? Just curious ...
Thanks, Kevin
