[ANNOUNCE]: reiser4 snapshot

[Nikita Danilov]

Hello,

new reiser4 snapshot is available at:

http://www.namesys.com/snapshots/2003.01.16/

It is released as a patch against linux-2.5.58 kernel. It should also
work with current (January 16th) bk snapshot at
http://linux.bkbits.net/linux-2.5

This is mostly bug fixing release.

READ.ME file contains changelog.

In addition, our public BK repository with reiser4 kernel code, and
reiser4 utilities is available at bk://namesys.com/bk/reiser4, and
bk://namesys.com/bk/reiser4progs respectively.

Nikita.

Can you please have a look at the READ.ME? It contains old info from the
former snapshot.

Ugh! Never mind .. I did a wget, but had the (old) file already. It was
named READ.ME.1 due to that, and of course I only noticed this 1ms
_after_ I kicked away the message ..

Only the snapshot date was old, all other info was recent one.
Thanks for noticing. Fixed.

Great, I do something wrong and it is still right ;-)

Hi Nikita,

Is there also a BK repository with the reiserfs4-progs?

And what is the right way to integrate reiser4 into the kernel? At the
moment I pull reiser4 and linux-2.5, patch linux-2.5 with the
reiser4.diff out of the snapshots dir, and replace fs/reiser4 with the
BK reiser4. 

This works*, but I think the patch part is not the right way.

* I can compile a 2.5 kernel, boot it, and mkfs.reiser4 a partition.

Thanks in advance!

Well. It is most right way actually. (besides pulling from our kernel
repository, but we have different UML-related stuff in there so that might not
be very good idea for you).
Probably starting with next snapshot there will be separate kernel patch
for people who would like to pull our tree directly out of bitkeeper.

Great success at our side! ;)
Though I see you have not tried to mount that?

Bye,

Owh, cool!.

Ehm, sorry, I can also mount it. But the last few times I tried to wget
base2_2.tar (debian base) on it, it oopses immediately. As the system is
a kernel plus initrd on a floppy, I can't catch the oops. 

At the moment I try to build a kernel which decodes the oops by itself
and provide it to you (if it still oopses). Problem is that the kernel
gets too big, so now I try to wget the big kernel and boot it from out
of the initrd.

It is really great to be able to pull latest versions from BK and play
with it. I'll report success or failure.

Thanks again!
