Re: Re: reiserfs and TUX2 - 2.4.18 or 2.4.19?

Hi!

Thanx for responding to my ques.

So, to make my reiserfs on my RedHat7.3 kernel the same one as the one in Kernel 2.4.20, all i have to do is to patch:

2.4.18-pre1.pending
2.4.18-pre2.pending
.
.
2.4.18-rc1.pending
2.4.18.pending
2.4.19
2.4.20

and so on??

We cannot tell you anything about Tux2 because we do not know anything
about it ;)

If you plan to run not current 2.4 kernels, you might want to
get patches from ftp://ftp.namesys.com/pub/reiserfs-for-2.4/<version>.pending

Where <version> next kernel version. (repeat that until you reach latest
kernel).

But actually 2.4.18 is pretty stable and you may not want to patch it if you
want.

Bye,

Hello!

   Usually RedHat kernels version are in very little relation with
   vanilla kernel with same version.
   If you'd have canilla 2.4.18, you'd need
   2.4.18.pending and 2.4.19.pending
   With RedHat some of these patches might be already included, so
   you probably need to try and see it for yourself which ones are missing. 

Bye,
    Oleg

Wouldn't it be better to push the changes into the vanilla kernel to save 
everyone from this patch nightmare?

Well, all of the changes are in latest kernel already (2.4.20 as of now).
But the question was about using old kernel (well, may be not that old.
And patched by RedHat. And this was 56 megabytes of patches last time I checked)
