i suppose this is an error message...

~/devel/reiserfsprogs-3.6.11$ grep genetate . -R
./fsck/super.c:         fsck_log ("rebuild-sb: no uuid found, failed to genetate UUID\n");
./tune/tune.c:              message ("failed to genetate UUID\n");
./mkreiserfs/mkreiserfs.c:          reiserfs_warning (stderr, "failed to genetate UUID\n");

please fix it in 3.6.12

what does it really mean? is something i need to worry? i sometimes receive
it when i'm formatting a new reiserfs partition.

ah yes, thank you.

do you have /dev/urandom? It should have read permissions.

Vitaly, if this happens to real users, then you must handle the error 
gracefully and informatively.....

I have no idea whether a significant percentage of them lack 
/dev/urandom, maybe you should ask the list.

i'm getting this error on a very simple initrd image i'm working on,
where only required devices have been copied by hand. now i know that
/dev/urandom is also required :))

thanks

By one of those amazing coincidences, "very simple initrd" is
something I'm wallowing in with glee just at the moment.

BusyBox built with uClibc is magnificent for "very simple initrd".

If you build your kernel to include devfs, and run busybox's devfsd,
all the normal paths show up in /dev by automagic.

When I switch to 2.6 I believe the corresponding automagic is udev.
