    Knoppix mounted ReiserFS partition as SWAP!?!

    Hi!

    Yesterday I was about to make a backup off my linux partition (Gentoo) and booted Knoppix 3.$ from CD for that reason. When I started up partimage I saw that my linux partition was shown as swap. Puzzled by that I checked my partitions with cfdisk and everything seemed normal. So I rebooted to go back to my Gentoo install and it wouldn't boot. Argh! so I started up Knoppix again to do some research and looking at the bootup messages I noticed that Knoppix mounted my linux partition /dev/hda6 as SWAP. WTF?

    Fortunately I managed to restore my original file system with reiserfsck and a backup I had, but Knoppix is still mounting it as this partion as swap eventhough I have a swap partition as /dev/hda5. Whats wrong with Knoppix???

    Any news?

    I still have the same problem. It makes Knoppix unusable for me. Is there any way to tell Knoppix not to use any partitions as swap?

    Thanx!

    The noswap cheatcode should work if you have the RAM.
    BTW what type does your reiser partition show as with "fdisk -l"?
