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

[Wayne Whitney]

I also have reiserfs mounts from /etc/fstab failing in 2.4.9-ac12, so
I straced the mount process.  With options "defaults" in /etc/fstab,
"mount /usr/local" does:

  mount("/dev/hde8", "/usr/local", "reiserfs", 0xc0ed0000, 0x80597a8) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)

While "mount /dev/hde8 /usr/local" gives:

  mount("/dev/hde8", "/usr/local", "reiserfs", 0xc0ed0000, 0) = 0

But with the options "notail" in /etc/fstab, "mount /usr/local" does:

  mount("/dev/hde8", "/usr/local", "reiserfs", 0xc0ed0000, 0x806d3e0) = 0

Vital statistics:

  RedHat 7.1.93
  Linux version 2.4.9-ac12
  gcc version 3.0.2 20010905 (Red Hat Linux 7.1 3.0.1-3)
  mount 2.11g
