Default Re: Using existing reiserfs

I would have been happy to had I known what to include.
I had the home directory in another partition. On boot I received the message "/dev/sdb3: no such file or directory" and so I went into fstab and commented out the entry for it.

Since the drive would not mount at boot time, I commented out the entry in fstab. Now that the system is booting, I uncommented the entry and changed the mount point to /home1. In doing a mount (mount -t reiserfs /dev/sdb3 /home1) I get a response from the mount command like I asked for the help from the mount command. If I did a mount all (mount -a) the response received is: mount point /home1 does not exist.

Now on another issue, I have a directory called /3x0-1 which does get mounted and is a reiserfs file system. This is on /dev/sda2 it shows only 1% used! It should be more like 90% used. Sure hope that the contents had not been harmed as I will switch to the most hated vendor's product. What's weird is that another line in the fstab points to the same device with all of the same attributes but has a directory entry of "/new".
