So mount -o remount,noattr /  gives an error:

mstoll@martin1:~$ sudo mount -o remount,noattr /
mount: / not mounted already, or bad option


since  sudo mount -o remount,ro /

works fine, I am assuming that the problem is with the "noattr" option.
I also changed the option in /etc/fstab and rebooted.  It resulted in a
ro mounted root partition.  Manually trying to remount it resulted in an
unknown option: noattr.

How do I find out the reiserfs version?  I believe it is reiserfs 3.6,
but reiserfsck doesn't tell me what version it is.
