symptom

Mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda[x], or too many mounted file systems

fact

Novell SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 (SLES 9)

Multipathing with EVMS

Reiser Filesystem (ReiserFS)

This message is seen when trying to mount a Reiser Filesystem that has been defined on Multipathing Devices (MD).

fix

If you are using ReiserFS, you will need to mount the filesystem using the '-o barrier=none' parameter.

note

It is important to note that if you are using EXT3 as the filesystem that this option syntax is different (-o barrier=0), as well as the symptom (mounted filesystem changes to read-only upon writing to the filesystem).
