So here it goes. You made one mistake in your README file:
[-] chattr -R -SAadiscu /reiserfs-mount-point
for each reiserfs file system. Said garbage on root file-system can prevent system from booting (for example spurious immutable flag on /dev/console) to work around this, new mount option "noattrs" is provided. With it chattr and lsattr still work, but attributes don't have any actual effect. So, boot system with "rootflags=noattr", clear all attributes and reboot or remount root file system. [-]
You've forgotten the little "s" but had it right in your post.
After I've 'booted into single user mode with "linux rootflags=noattrs" I could change my archives but _NOT_ /dev/console the right way. After the second reboot I got the warning and kernel hang, again. Something wrong with your patch or my installation?
SunWave1 /# l /dev/console crw------- 1 root root 5, 1 Nov 21 11:01 /dev/console SunWave1 /# lsattr /dev/console lsattr: Invalid argument While reading flags on /dev/console
Two other FS in /dev have some problems, too. But I think that is right.
SunWave1 /# chattr -R -SAadiscu /dev/ chattr: Inappropriate ioctl for device while reading flags on /dev//pts chattr: Inappropriate ioctl for device while reading flags on /dev//shm
All the files in /proc show the same.
Here comes a little positive example, I think.
SunWave1 /# lsattr /tmp/ ----------X-j /tmp//xwlog --------B-X-j /tmp//kde-nuetzel ------------- /tmp//dcop6SKhoM ---------D-Ej /tmp//YaST2.tdir ----------XEj /tmp//ksocket-root --------B-X-j /tmp//mcop-nuetzel --------B--Ej /tmp//kde-root --------B-X-j /tmp//ksocket-nuetzel --------B--Ej /tmp//INSTALL --------BD-Ej /tmp//modules.conf.- ---------DX-j /tmp//vi.recover --------BD-Ej /tmp//mcop-root ------------j /tmp//lost+found --------BD-Ej /tmp//modules.conf
What next?
Thanks, Dieter
