Re: R4 won't mount.

Hi Paolo.
Thanks for your reply.  I'm mounting a new reiser4 partition.  I just 
recreated another partition with cfdisk  (not rewriting R4 over the 
previous one) and still won't mount.  I'm getting the usual error 
report:  "mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on 
/dev/hda7.....etc"
I also recompiled my 2.6.1 kernel & reiser4progs-0.4.20 as well.
I have noticed that the kernel compile is complaining though, now that I 
think about it I remember the original patching coming up with "hunk  
#1, etc, succeeding, etc and I had about 6 or 8 of those.  I ignored 
them as I assumed the word "succeeding" meant that things went ok.
So my next step will be to repatch a fresh kernel.
