2.4.19-pre7.pending 01-05 didn't make it's way into -pre8?

[Dieter Nützel]

Only for notification and up-to date info.
Seems that 06 is in, Chris?
Do all of the above patches apply clean against
linux-2.4.19p7-compound-speedup-2.patch and
linux-2.4.19p7-iicache-new-15.patch

Please resend to Marcello, again.

What about all the "pending" quota stuff?
Without it Linux (*nix) is mostly "useless" for "comporate computing".

Shouldn't you try harder to get this in, too?

Even all (?) current SuSE (one of the main ReiserFS promoter) release kernels 
do not include the quota stuff. Why?

Thanks,
	Dieter

Yes, it is.

Not sure about iicache, stuff should apply cleanly to
linux-2.4.19p7-compound-speedup-2.patch

Hans wants one more patch added to patchset before sending. so we are waiting
until that patch gets tested enough.

It is impossible without new format quota added into 2.4 kernel which
is not going to happen anytime soon, I think.

A lot of people tried, but without generic quota stuff it is not possible.

Chris might know why they don't include new quota stuff.

Bye,

I started getting daily reports of some people hitting that on
sledgehammer and s390, so it got sent in before the others.

The new quota patches require a quota utilities upgrade, so they won't
go into a stable kernel series.  Jan Kara recently started on a version
of the new quota stuff that worked with the old utils.

The suse kernels do include the quota patches (which is the main reason
I keep the reiserfs bits up to date ;-)

Ah, the SuSE/AMD team? ;-)

Huh,

this is weird.
I upgraded a SuSE 7.3 system (server at a school) with 
k_i386-2.4.16-20.i386.rpm quota tools installed but nothing worked.
Even the quota file generation failed with "quota not supported".
ReiserFS 3.6, of course.

Should I try again with newer kernel version?

The s390 guys actually found the bug, any 64 bit platform should hit it,
unless they somehow find a way to store 6800 bytes in a 4k buffer.  The
LTP suite triggers it very reliably, more people are running that now so
the reports went up in frequency.

I won't even guess how alphas and ia64s managed to work as long as they
did (it gets caught by a debugging check before corrupting anything,
thank you Vladimir).

Mount -o usrquota,grpquota?  SuSE started putting in the quota stuff for
reiserfs around 2.4.12.
