| OpenVZ + Reiserfs [message #47680] |

Sorry, I searched a little in this forum, in the wiki and in google for a "HOW TO OPENVZ KERNEL + ReiserFS" and didn't found a way to do it.
How can I add it? Since the kernel is different, I tried to download the package but it's only the utilities:
As CT0 I'm running CentOS 6.3(final) fully updated
As CT1 I'm running Gentoo Base System release 2.0.2 (not fully updated)
mount: unknown filesystem type 'reiserfs'
What's the right way to add support for reiserfs?
TY in advice!

TY for your reply, unfortunately, to add reiserfs support to a redhat kernel I would need to compile the kernel from source, cause in CentOS I got kmod-reiserfs and I'm able to mkfs.reiserfs and even mount it, but inside Gentoo(that only uses the kernel) he does not have support(that's why I would need to compile).
I already work w/ reiserfs both but w/o OpenVZ as another layer.
I'll try to modprobe the module, but I don't thing it's gonna work, guess I'll have to compile from source.

I'm just trying to mount, I can mount in CentOS (CT0) but I cannot mount in Gentoo (CT1), Gentoo can't mount saying:
mount: unknown filesystem type 'reiserfs'
But CentOS can.

I'm sorry I didn't provided enough information:
I've made this far:
CT0:
NODE=101
vzctl create $NODE --ostemplate gentoo-openvz-stage3-amd64-20110520
# set some variables
vzctl set $NODE --hostname mysql01-openvz.localhost.net --save
vzctl set $NODE --devnodes sdb1:rw --save
vzctl set $NODE --netif_add eth0 --save
I'm delivering a full partitioned reiserfs disk:
[root@openvz-test ~]# fdisk -l /dev/sdb
Disk /dev/sdb: 146.2 GB, 146163105792 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 17769 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x80d176b5
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdb1 1 17769 142729461 83 Linux
At CT1 I got this:
mysql01-openvz / # mount /dev/sdb1 /var/lib/mysql/
mount: unknown filesystem type 'reiserfs'
But at CT0:
[root@openvz-test ~]# mount /dev/sdb1 test/
[root@openvz-test ~]# mount
/dev/sdb1 on /root/test type reiserfs (rw)

I was hoping you answer would provide some clue on how to solve this, but everything looks fine to me...
What I'd do at this point is:
- check on CT1 if /proc/filesystems contains reiserfs (I'm guessing that it doesn't)
- try with CT2 using CentOS 6 as OS, for better comparison.
If both CT1 and CT2 behave the same, than I'd assume it's a deeper issue and that resierfs and openvz don't play nicely together. You might have more luck catching the attention of one of the openvz developers on the mailing list for further help. They seem to frequent there more.
I'm sure you're also aware of bind mounts as an option, I'm just mentioning it here for the sake of completeness or if anyone else is reading the thread.

I double check /proc/filesystem, they even show different support, tomorrow I'll try a CentOS(CT0) / CentOS(CT1) install. I like Gentoo for low resources consumption and that he compiles everything for my machine(when I set the right flags).
I'm aware of bind_mounts, but they don't really offer the solution I want. I want to deliver the disk for the user w/ hot-swap support in his system.
If even this does not happen, still, I must thank you for trying to help!

Just an update(busy last week):
I can't, even in a CentOS(CT0) / CentOS(CT3) cenario use reiserfs inside cannot be done:

I know you guys may not share the same vision that I have, but ReiserFS is a MUST for high I/O | low files scenario that I have.
I posted there but I didn't got any answer on that yet...
