Greetings all,

        I have been running XFS for a few months now, and have notices a few 
errors while mounting/umounting drives.  I am
running the CVS kernel on a debian/unstable box.  I have reiser, XFS and devfs 
running on my system as well.
        On bootup, I get this:

        read_super_block: can't find a reiserfs filesystem on dev 03:06
        read_old_super_block: try to find super block in old location
        read_old_super_block: can't find a reiserfs filesystem on dev 03:06.
        Start mounting filesystem: ide0(3,6)
        Ending clean XFS mount for filesystem: ide0(3,6)
        VFS: Mounted root (xfs filesystem) readonly.

        Now, I know that is a reiser error, but I can't figure out why that is 
happening.  ide0(3,6) is my root partition,
here's the line from my fstab:

/dev/hda6       /       xfs     defaults                0       1

        so why is it attempting to mount it as reiser? This is just an error, 
everything *works* fine.  Could this be because
of devfs? i.e. devfs is not running when my root partition is mounted so it 
comes up with that error?
        The other issue I have run into is when I shutdown, it seems to take a 
*long* time to umount everything.  not sure if
it's reiser or XFS causeing the hangup...I am going to edit my init scripts and 
make them more verbose so I can see where
it hangs.  it takes about 10 seconds to umount all my local filesystems..which 
is just a 20gb drive (about 6 partitions I
believe)
        Last item is RAID/LVM compatibility.  I understand that there are/were 
issues with software RAID and XFS.  I am getting
a hardware RAID card and will be using it in a RAID0 configuration.  I just 
wanted to be sure that won't be a problem.
        I also intend on using LVM with it.  Are there any  known issues with 
LVM and XFS? Or even reiser and LVM, for that
matter (doesn't hurt to ask :)
        Thank you in advance for the time.
