Hi, List!

In my journey to discover kernel 2.6 I get this error trying to reiserfsck
/dev/sda1 (usb flash disk, 128 MB)

bash-2.05b# reiserfsck --check /dev/sda1
reiserfsck 3.6.11 (2003 www.namesys.com)

Will read-only check consistency of the filesystem on /dev/sda1
Will put log info to 'stdout'

Do you want to run this program?[N/Yes] (note need to type Yes if you
do):Yes
Failed to open the journal device ((null)).

An strace tell me:
brk(0)                                  = 0x809c000
brk(0x809d000)                          = 0x809d000
_llseek(4, 8192, [8192], SEEK_SET)      = 0
read(4, "\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 4096)
= 4096
_llseek(4, 65536, [65536], SEEK_SET)    = 0
read(4, "\370|\0\0\214\24\0\0\325\5\0\0\22\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\2\0\0"...,
4096) = 4096
_llseek(4, 131035136, [131035136], SEEK_SET) = 0
read(4, "\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377"...,
4096) = 4096
write(2, "Failed to open the journal devic"..., 44Failed to open the
journal device ((null)).
) = 44
fsync(4)                                = 0




I expect reiserfsck to treat this device as any other device.
Mount /dev/sda1 works.

Any advice, please?
Thank you!

P.S. More informations on request.
