From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030703 Description of problem: In previous versions of RH Linux, when it boots off the installation CD you could pass the "reiserfs" parameter to the linux boot command and the kernel would be ReiserFS enabled. I could set mountpoints for the ReiserFS partitions of my other distros, even share a /home partition b/t all three. However, ReiserFS is not even an option in your kernel release. My partitioning was a hassle b/c of my inability to set mountpoints. I cannot continue to share my /home partition or swap files b/t distros b/c RH cannot interact with the other filesystems. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.4.21-20.1.2024.2.1.nptl How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install the RH Kernel with anaconda Actual Results: Disk Druid is not able to work w/ ReiserFS partitions Cannot read files in other OS b/c of inability to mount the filesystem. Expected Results: RH should continue support of popular filesystems. Additional info: ReiserFS is still in wide use by a lot of other *nix systems and linux distros. To take away ReiserFS support in your kernel build greatly hampers a users ability to interact with another popular filesystem. Linux was meant to be highly customizable and the administrator should be given the option of ReiserFS. I will probably recompile my kernel with ReiserFS support, but this is a step back in Linux's attempt to be user-friendly and Red Hat's move into the Desktop market.
