allocator options, kernel 2.6.7

[Pierre Etchemaite <petchema@concept-micro.com>]

	Hi all,

I've been using 2.6.5 kernel with data-logging, allocator options patch, and

	data=ordered,alloc=skip_busy:dirid_groups,packing_groups

mount options for a while. So far so good.


Now, two questions.

1. I came across this fix:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.6/2.6.6-mm5/broken-out/reiserfs-block-allocator-should-not-inherit-packing-locality.patch

Does that mean that I could have problem fixing some of my filesystems if
they happened to need reiserfsck ?

(From what I understand I can check if it's not too late already if

/sbin/debugreiserfs -d /dev/xxxx |grep '^|.*SD'|sed 's/^.....//'|awk '$1==1'

returns only one line, beginning with 1 2 ...)


2. kernel 2.6.7 seems to have data-logging patch applied (which is a very
good news!), but not advanced allocator options patch. Is there a patch for
2.6.7, or would you recommend me forgetting about those options for now ?
Allocator tweaks looks a bit more experimental than I thought.

Best regards,
Pierre.
