Re: reiser4progs-1.0.0, libaal-1.0.0, grub-0.95+reiser4-patch...

May I add a warning about using reiser4 in your boot partition (which is what the reiser4 grub patch is for) - it is not stable, is acknowledged as being broken by namesys and is not recommended for use by namesys (the people who make reiser4).

Obviously, if you use it, it's possible it will work for you, but beware that using reiser4 on your boot partition is not recommended as if/when it fails you wil have an utterly unbootable machine.

Having said that, reiser4 is a good filesystem to play around with and if you have a spare partition can be good for speed testing, etc. You do not need the grub patch to simply use reiser4 on your system, even if everything (apart from the boot partition) is reiser4.

If you are going to convert your / to reiser4 then please have a seperate boot partition using ext3 or something like that or you may end up in severe trouble.

I had a complete reiser4 system for some weeks (apart from my boot partition obviously) and it is good but it still has some problems, especially in the last few kernel releases. Andrew Morton will not touch it yet, which may tell you something.

If you can stand the heresy, Gentoo forums have hundreds of threads on reiser4 which may be useful for people, recent threads are concentrating on the problems occuring with recent kernels (system locks, lost data, an odd problem of data being moved, copied, changed but on reboot being how it was before the change - not good for a production system, lol).

Not being an alarmist but please be careful using it on /boot

HTH  big_smile

PS If you want to try reiser4 as it progresses, try this link here as it has almost daily snapshots.

Don't use 4K stack with Reiser4 yet, I guess most problems are caused by that (same is true for XFS).

Re: reiser4progs-1.0.0, libaal-1.0.0, grub-0.95+reiser4-patch...

A good tip, but no it's not related to the majority of the problems. It is simply due to it being still in development.

It is a good fs, but needs a lot of work yet, I can't wait for it to mature a bit, I was very impressed when I used it (well, apart from the data loss and system locks when under load)  big_smile
