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???
