I can't find it in the archives, nor with google or on the Namesys
website (namely download, getting started with v4, and the FAQ).

I did find this mail from Hans about the issue and his request for a
patch for apache:
http://www.dragoninc.on.ca/mail-archives/reiserfs/2004-08/0583.html

That thread doesn't contain a patch unfortunately.

Can somebody please point me to a patch to disable the file as a
directory feature?

Hans, would this be something for a mount option? And shouldn't more
info on this be on the website?

Thanks in advance.
