hello everyone
i've recently reinstalled arch (btw i've finally thrown away my never used winxp from hdd ) and formatted my root and home partition with ext4. root partition mounts fine, but my home partition (/dev/sda6) won't. only possible way to mount the fs is to mount it ro, then remount rw, thus i created this inelegant - hopefully temporary - solution.
/etc/rc.local
mount /dev/sda6 /home -o ro
mount /dev/sda6 -o remount,rw
/etc/fstab

dmesg output related to prob
[ 6.223591] EXT4-fs: sda6: Filesystem with huge files cannot be mounted read-write without CONFIG_LBD.
kernel config
CONFIG_EXT4_FS=y
# CONFIG_EXT4DEV_COMPAT is not set
CONFIG_EXT4_FS_XATTR=y
CONFIG_EXT4_FS_POSIX_ACL=y
CONFIG_EXT4_FS_SECURITY=y
# CONFIG_LBD is not set
seems i have to recompile the kernel...

Don't know the answer but I am amazed by your very well done partitioning setup! a mix of ext4, reiserfs...
Best of luck!

@Neo_The_User: thx
solved my prob by recompiling my kernel with the additional option
CONFIG_LBD=y
This option adds Support for Large Block Devices
Enable block devices of size 2TB and larger.
This option is required to support the full capacity of large (2TB+) block devices, including RAID, disk, Network Block Device, Logical Volume Manager (LVM) and loopback.
For example, RAID devices are frequently bigger than the capacity of the largest individual hard drive.
This option is not required if you have individual disk drives which total 2TB+ and you are not aggregating the capacity into a large block device (e.g. using RAID or LVM).
If unsure, say N.
btw. my home partition is "only" 100GB big

It should work with a 100GB partition then .... 100GB is a "bit" less than 2TB+ (the largest disks on sale now are just getting to 2TB too), ext4 is still relatively young .... I've been using it without problems but only in a 320GB disk with a few ext3 partitions and some (less important) ext4 partitions, the largest one is 91GB and it is using ext4 .... maybe you have stumbled into some bug ....
