find?
(un)tar sources/backups/etc?
mail? (mbox/maildir; large mailboxes)

Can you please make new reiserfs4 snapshots available for testing? The
last one is from December 4.

I tried to pull the linux kernel bk and the reiserfs ones, got a kernel
that compiled and booted, but the fs went bellyup pretty fast. I don't
think a report is useful as the bk pulls are moving targets. Am I right?

Also I'm not sure I did it the right way as I couldn't find it
documented. Can you please point me to some documentation or provide
quick instructions in a reply?

Thank you and the team for these great filesystems.
