[plug] reiserfs

[Dennis Plester]

Thanks for the advice. I'll look into this further. I have heard from others
that they haven't always managed to get it to work either, but I've never
tried. I have managed to virtually eliminate the crashing anyway, through
trial and error.

Thanks again.

Dennis.

	Going further off topic, if the kernel hasn't hung, then if you've
compile
	the kernel with the Alt+PrtSc special keys (forget the exact name -
	CONFIG_MAGIC_SYSRQ?) then when X hangs you can try alt+prtsc+r to
get the
	keyboard/screen back (is supposed to work, but never has for me).

	Otherwise, if that doesnt work alt+prtsc+s will sync the drives
before
	doing alt+prtsc+u which unmounts the disks and then alt+prtsc+b will
	reboot.. (i remember 'sub') all without having to use a 'doze
machine and
	you don't get a fsck on restart. I think somebody, perhaps Matt,
mentioned
	this not that long ago on another thread, lost track of it since
though.

	Regards,

	Bernard.
