problem with FS block_size

Hi ReiserFS Gurus!


I have a problem with my reiserFS. I have the following configuration running on my machine:

- SMP 2.4.16-32 SuSE Linux kernel
- software RAID1 with 2 disks
- on top of the RAID I have LVM 1.0.1 (the /boot is exclusive, but the rest like /home, /, swap, /tmp, /opt, /usr in in the LVM)

Everything is working fine with ext2fs and also with resierfs if I define block_size 4k. I downloaded from namesys.com the latest resierfs tools version reiserfsprogs-3.x.1b.tar.gz. But with that I still have the problem, if I define a block_size other that 4k, I eighter cannot mount the partition (filesystem type unknown), or at unmount I get segmentation fault. The first one I get with block_size 1k, the second with block_size 2k.

Can you tell me what can be wrong there. Do I need some kernel pathes?


Thanks

Krisztian

variable blocksize support was not merged in kernel yet.
I have a diff for 2.4.18-rc2, though. So if you need it, I can send it to you.
Note it is was not fully tested yet.
